Perfectly Rustics Include a Sentiment

Well its time for a new challenge over at Perfectly Rustics and this time we are talking about sentiments, with a catch of course, we want any sentiment at all except Happy Birthday. So here is my inspiration for you.

 

Card Tip:

Just because it is a wedding card doesn't mean you have to stick with pastels for your colour scheme, I have used black for my accent colour and I think it works well.

Card Ingredients:

Card Stock: Standard A5 white card base, black  and yellow card stock from stash.

Papers: Snap Click Supply Co  Nancie Rowe Janitz I Thee Wed paper pack.

Stamps: Tiddly Inks Forever Yours, Paper trey Ink simple sentiments.

Diecut Divas - Seasonal Change Spring/Autumn

Over at Diecut Divas it is time for another monthly challenge, so for the month of October the theme is Seasonal Change, whether that means Autumn or whether like me that means Spring. So for my card I went spring all the way.

Hi

I think in this day and age we are all touched by cancer in some way, whether it is a loved one, someone you know or someone in your community. Recently I have learnt that a lovely lady who I have just met on one of my design teams is having to have tests done for a possible return of cancer so we all decided that we would send her cards to hopefully brighten her day. This is what I sent her.
