Good afternoon, friends! I've got a card to show you today that came about in a strange way for me. I've been trying to keep up with a few sketch challenges for awhile, and Mojo Monday is one of my favorites. With all the computer time spent setting up my blog, I hadn't had a chance to make this week's sketch (MOJO197) and I needed to get it downloaded by 8:00 tonight, so I stayed up quite late last night to make it.
I started out absolutely sure I was going to make a CAS card, with solid paper, dry embossing, and very little ink. I'm drawn to that style card, but never end up making them myself. So, I chose the paper (pink) and embossing folders I wanted to use, and began looking for paper for the card base. That's when I came across a patterned paper I just couldn't resist. Well, I did keep one of the pink papers I'd already chosen, and the only ink I used was embossing ink for the sentiment, but my CAS card turned into this:
We spent most of yesterday at my mom's house, swimming and celebrating my daughter's 7th birthday. I hope you are all having a fun, relaxing holiday weekend, too.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a Fabulous 4th of July!!!
