Many Hands

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!
