Just popping in to post a quick card today. I am going with inspiration for the following challenge (#357) CAS(e) this Sketch
I am a fan of Brian's cards - he has a keen eye for design and color, so I was thrilled he brought this sketch together.
I chose to fill my card from top to bottom with the three sections rather than allow the strips at the top and bottom. I used an embossed layer in deep purple. I topped it with a subtle grey textured cardstock. The feature of my card was a stitched circle cut of Authentique "Beauty Ten" designer paper. I trimmed it to fit this suggested floral. I faux embossed the blooms and added a tiny bit of bling with teeny gems. Lastly I added the simple sentiment stamped from a Recollections set.

My husband and I took a little date day out yesterday, travelling just across the border into Washington State. We drove down to Omak where we did some shopping and on the way home we stopped just north of Omak and enjoyed a 2 hour hike in the hills. Perfect day for this as the sun was shining.
Feels crazy to see buttercups blooming in the first few days of February - a snack for a hungry groundhog I'd say.
Even the red ants also believe its time to emerge and get busy!
Just little peeks of snow between the trees.
How about YOUR little corner of the world - is your weather confusing too?
A sweet card, and I love that embossed background! Our weather here 'Down Under' is in a pretty normal (for this time of year) drought condition where I am, but the most southern part of our wee nation (New Zealand) is currently flooding!
