Here I am posting Friday afternoon. It's been one of those weeks when life throws you a box of curve balls and you feel like you just want to crash on the couch, only, you can't. Everyone needs you...five minutes ago!
I whipped up a clean and simple card late one evening while the house was calm and quiet. I needed to do something crafty. Remembering Uniko Studio's Challenge #14: Clean & Simple, I played along with their All Occasions Sentiments #2 set. These sets are some of my favorite sentiment sets with big, bold, beautiful fonts that work so well on CAS cards!
I used some shimmery watercolors as a background for the sentiment and then used a combination of sequins and gemstones as embellishments. So simple, but that's how I like my cards!
I hope you've had a good week! I'm off now to check on DS2. He had a fever for almost three days and is now enduring hives. The joys of viruses, I tell you! Add to that a DH who has to put in long hours at work this week, a DS3 who decided to kiss the side of his nose with the edge of his bike handle bars (you know, the metal part) and a clingy DD and you get the idea...I'm ready for the weekend! Life can only get better!
