My card today is clean and simple and inspired by two challenges. I began by stamping the background stamp called You Matter (SSS) onto white card stock and adhering it to a white card base.
The leaves are loosely (WPlus9 Autumn Leaves) painted with Zig Markers and spattered with a bit of black, also added to the background. I love that thanks to the text stamp this card can be for encouragement or a birthday and is gender neutral.
I assembled it thanks to the great prompt and lovely samples at Freshly Made Sketches
and Time Out Challenges.
I am happily going to get on with my day now. Some cooking prep and a pile of laundry await. Hope your day is wonderful!
