Hello Friend!

Hello Friends!  Welcome to my blog.  I have a card to share with you today.  

As some of you may know, I had a mishap several days ago, and among other things, broke my wrist. Fortunately, I had several cards made and posts blogged and scheduled in advance.  So, this was made and scheduled about two weeks ago.  I hope to be back in current time blogging soon, but it's a slow healing process, and I am learning the hard way to just relax and let it happen.

Now, on to my card, featuring one of Impression-Obsession's Spring Release dies...

Impression-Obsession Dies:  
Friend DIE808-H
Stitched Tag DIE798-Y (inside sentiment banner from set)
IO Stamps:
Hello and How Are You from Sunshine Set MC660

I used my Arteza Real Brush markers to create a blended row of bright, lively colors on a piece of glossy card stock. Next, I die-cut the Friend die from white glossy card stock, and put the die cut itself aside.  I used the negative portion, the part left over after cutting, and placed it over the row of colors I had created.  I attached the pieces, and foam taped them to an A2 card front.

I stamped the word Hello from the Sunshine Set, and added some black pearls for a tad of embellishment.  I wanted to keep this CAS.  
I am challenged when creating these types of cards, as I always want to add 'just something more.'  So I'm proud of myself for keeping it truly CAS!

On the inside, I sponged some distress inks in the same colors as are on the front.  I used the label portion of the Stitched Tag Die to stamp the verse from the Sunshine set.
