It took me forever to get this clean and simple (CAS) card for the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge, hence the reason I'm posting it at the last minute. I've lost count of how many iterations of this has been but I'm finally happy with it (can you see the swirls in the clouds?). Frustrates me when a CAS card takes FOREVER... Anyway, I was inspired by the colours and texture in the Sparks image. In addition, I am playing along again with the CAS-ual Friday Sketch Challenge 26.
As I was making this last night, one of my crafty gals pointed out something about the clouds. They could also be popcorn! Brilliant... might have to try that!
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are having a great week.

ReplyDeleteVery sweet, Glenda!! I know what you mean about hating when CAS cards take sooooooooooo long. I've had quite a few of those recently, so I can truly relate. In the end, this turned out terrific!

I love that embossed background! What a cute use of the SPARKS challenge.
ReplyDeleteThis card is AMAZING! I adore the little touches that you've added to the card to make it so cute!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds crazy, but when I go more CAS, they seem to take me longer! Go figure! This was worth the time!!!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like popcorn! I know what you mean about CAS can take forever...each element is so much more important. Your card turned out fabulous! The texture in the background looks like wind--very cool!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE this sweet card, Glenda!!! The sentiment goes so perfectly with your whimsical kite and swirly clouds!!! Can't wait to see you use those clouds as popcorn---that would TOTALLY work!! COOL idea!
