Bright & CAS Gratitude

Hello!  So, I decided to make a quick card tonight...it really took under 5 minutes!  I combined some fabulous challenges and am very pleased with my creation!

Here it is~

Details~




For these fabulous challenges~

 

 


I've been trying to perfect my CAS and one layer skills.  This card is actually the first draft!  I didn't have to throw card bases to the wind multiple times in disgust and frustration!  I started by dry embossing two sets of three lines down my card.  Then I stamped my leaves (using masking) and sentiment and added some Melon Mambo bling!  Ta da!!!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!  I hope you like what you see and that you're inspired to create something for these fabulous challenges today!  I'm also adding this to Susan's Gratitude Campaign list--sending cards to say thank you to those around us! I hope you join in this fun and fitting endeavor as well!  Happy stamping! :)
