Happy Monday my friends,
I am home from my holiday now after having 2 weeks of a wonderful time with my husband and I have to say I do have quite a good tan!
It is great to have holidays but I do love our home and it is always nice to get back at 'home sweet home'.
My card today is for a friend you needs a little reminder of how strong and amazing she is and this week I love the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch and used this for my layout.

I really wanted this card to convey 'strength' and thought a long time about which stamps I thought expressed this. In the end I used some of new Fresh Squeezed Stamps sets for this card (expect to see these quite a lot as I love their stamps and now have 6 sets!!) plus the circle stamp is from PTI. To me I captured the feeling of strength and I hope you can see this too?
My colour choice and linen impression plate were used to give a little soft touch but still keeping the message of strength. Perhaps too much thinking went into this but I was happy with the result and really hope my friend likes it!
I am also going to enter it into the CAS challenge at Little Red Wagon. As my card is based around the sentiment I am also entering it into the 'Lets get wordy' challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges
And here is the sketch:

Wooohooo! Welcome back, my friend. Fabulous card to mark your return home. Love the colours and although pastel, definitely conveys strength. Love the picture...looks like you had a great time.

ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I like this CAS design - the soft colors, the little brushes of ink, the circles - it all works so well together! I have the linen impression plate on my wishlist, but I haven't found it yet...
