There is a new challenge blog out there called CAS--ual Fridays. Yesterday was their debut challenge - Texting Skills. Use stamps, texty pattern paper, a page torn from your phone book, or create your own..get creative! *they are looking for text, not just a simple sentiment* Just incorporate text prominently into your newly created CAS project. The DT projects are wonderful - you should hop on over, have a look, and play!
I decided to use PTI's wonderful LOVE LIVES HERE collection. It's hard to see in this picture, but there is text on the hands above. I used the Splitcoast color challenge CC321: Black Cherry Crumbs! (Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake) for my colors. I stamped the hands with Memento Tuxedo Black ink first. I then masked the black hands and stamped with Crumb Cake ink. I used Cherry Cobbler ink for the hearts. I thought it would be fun to frame out a little window in the center, and stamp a heart on the inside of the card that would show throught the window. I love the way that idea worked out. I added a lace border and a sentiment, and voila!
Thank you for coming by. Wishing everyone a "gentle" mother's day weekend. This holiday can invoke so many emotions - both joyous and difficult. May your Sunday be a beautiful one tomorrow. Thank you always, for your comments. I really enjoy them so much!
