Hello dear friends. We're off work today - Corpus Christi is a holiday for us. Twas a busy morning but after lunch we just lay about like beached whales. Bipeds and quadrupeds alike. Oh joy! The weather was glorious and we were forced, against our will, into a state of inertia. A little after 6pm I dispatched the hubby to get the coals going for our dinner. And while he was busy playing hunter gatherer I stepped into the sophisticated world of card-making. A grand day all 'round! Here's my quick and easy card based on Retro Sketches #14 and ColorQ #140.

| No patterned papers on this card, just CS. I embossed the background using the Swiss Dots EP by Cuttlebug. |
| The sentiment is from WMS "Compact Sentiments" set. I heat embossed it in white and cut the red CS with Spellbinders Labels 20 die. |
| For embellishment - just some red and turquoise twine. I also punched the edge card. There's plenty of foam tape action! |
| And here's what it looks like on the inside. |
And now I've got to rush back to my gentle Conan. He's out in the garden unsupervised, hopefully making some progress with our dinner. I'm going to toss a salad, grab some bread, taste the wine (somebody's got to do it!) and wait for dinner to be served.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed Thursday and see you real soon!
Beijinhos!

Lovely card Asha. I really love the zig zag stitching in the background. It really caught my eye. Did you do that by hand or machine? It is very uniform!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the stitching! It adds just a real something special to the card:) Thanks for playing at ColourQ this week! :)
