Another CAS card today but I like this one SO MUCH BETTER! In fact, I may just send it to myself! I'm not real sure if it's the image, the pink, or the bow..but whatever, I'm leaning toward liking this one. It seems like lately I'm not liking anything I do....but I guess we all go through that from time to time.
This image is from a Hero Arts set called Pots, Plants, and Posies. It was one of the stamp sets that I received from my friend Kristin! It also has some other wonderful images in the set and I'll be using those soon. I used some Green Galore and Pretty in Pink CS from SU and embossed the pink with the Birds and Swirls embossing folder. The ribbon is Pink Pirouette and the bow was completed using that fantastic little tool - the Bow Easy! The image has been colored with SU markers and Prisma Pencils.
Sorry I forgot to give everyone an update on this past weekend with the new granddaughter. She's just the cutest little baby you've ever seen - OF COURSE! I did get to spend alot of time holding and hugging so it turned out to be a wonderful weekend. Hubby bar-b-qued a brisket that was out of this world and we had very nice weather - although a tad bit warm. So all in all it was a great weekend.
This is for the following challenges: Corrosive Challenge (use Pastel colors) and Creative Inspirtations Paint (inspired by Spring), and Hand Stamped Sentiments (pink).
Thanks for stopping by................

This card is gorgeous, you should keep this one right on your desk. Love the colors and the image with the colors you used. Your bow, is perfection, I forget about my Bow Easy, guess I should try it again. I agree with cards, I have been going through the really don't like my stuff, guess we are just harder on ourselves, but don't be your cards are beautiful and fun. So glad you had a great weekend with your granddaughter.
