Oh, my! This card snapped me out of a mojo funk on Tuesday when I was trying to come up with something for the CAS25 challenge. I'd made three or four cards that were very, very forgettable when this one popped out. It's sufficiently different from the challenge sketch that I didn't upload it to that gallery (and besides, my cards that I finally did load to that gallery also made me really happy). But still, this one is worthy of note.
It's a 4.25-inch square card that uses a Hero Arts clear stamp set. Usually, I'm highly bothered by grammar errors on stamps (there should be a comma bewteen "hello" and "friend") but I'll let this one slide. This is such a harmonious card, perfect for sending to a friend who is stressing out.
Supplies
stamps: Hero Arts
cardstock: PTI white
ink: Palette chocolate, SU always artichoke, old olive markers
accessories: dimensionals, "cloud" deco scissors, Hero Arts olive rhinestones, ribbon
Yum Yum! That's totally gorgeous Susan ... I think that's my all time favourite shade of green. I love how your cards "glow" on my monitor :)

ReplyDeleteperfection!
ReplyDeleteThere are many interesting elements to note on this card, but the way the ribbon is tied inspires me.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
That card makes me happy and calm at the same time. It's perfectly balanced and wonderfully uncluttered.
ReplyDeleteVery crisp and refreshing. I love your white on white layers.
ReplyDeleteSUSAN!!!! I LOVE THIS!! One of my all time favorites by you...LOVE the image,adore the bling that coordinates with your paper...the scalloped edge is perfect for some interest and shape! I think you could put this in the CAS challenge for sure....mine was slightly different and I did...Your card is closer to the sketch then mine...BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful...thanks for the photo tips; now how did you achieve THIS background? Had to laugh about the grammar....those things bother me, too!
ReplyDeleteHeehee! You sound like me--I can't stand grammar errors on stamps either. It's hard to turn off English teacher mode. :)
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty and lovely! I swear, you are the queen of CAS!!!
I absolutely love this card - I think I say that every time I come to your blog! I want to be you when I grow up!
ReplyDeleteI like how you made both the card base and panel white but popped the panel up to have some seperation and make it more interesting. I like the rhinestones and simple knot on the ribbon.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a spelling a grammar nut. I am constantly yelling at the tv at the actors who use improper use of adjectives and adverbs.
beautiful card. really like the bling you added to the tree.
ReplyDeleteFirst time visitor to your blog, but it won't be my last. Love your cards!
ReplyDeleteI love the white on white panels and the rhinestones on the tree and side.
ReplyDeleteI love every single one of your creations and I intend to CASE them. LOL! This one is awesome!

This is awesome, Susan! It makes me happy too.
ReplyDeleteI lol'ed at your grammar comment as I've been known to take a black marker and add the correct punctuation.
WOW! The layered "white on white" is just stunning - Beautiful card!
