Wednesday's OLW card launched my revisit with Grunge Me, a fun little set from Papertrey. It contains an excellent assortment of graphic shapes and images that are just so much fun to combine!
Today's card uses a similar messy vibe as Wednesday's, but with an extra layer to add some order to the chaos and lots of hot pink for a cheerful, feminine touch.
The hot pink baker's twine (Doodlebug) puts a veritable lid on the chaos, although the very light pink swirl peeks up to draw attention (in a subtle way) to the sentiment. I love the movement and whimsy of this card, all contained in a broad, oh-so-white frame.
Thanks for all the thanks you've given for the trapped-white-space post. Glad it was so helpful to so many of you.
Supplies
stamps: Papertrey Grunge Me, Birthday Basics

Such a fun card! It's not easy for me to use splashy-splotchy elements. You've got me thinking again (love that!) about the order and chaos possibilities.
