A wonderful bright pallet chosen by Keesh today and one that had green so I was happy LOL! I combined it with one of Chupa's older Sketch and Stamp sketches. 
With the overload of Christmas cards lately, I thought it would be fun to go in a spring/summer direction this time. Absolutely LOVE this sentiment and every time I read it I remind myself to speak the kind words I am thinking of and not just leave them in my mind. I know I sure appreciate a kind word, and in a world that tends to focus on the negatives of life, it is always nice to get some positives to help you along in your day :)
The rest of the Design Team has some fabulous cards for your inspiration.

Just a reminder that each week Keesh will select a winner and an honorable mention and post their cards on the Inkspirations Challenge blog. We'd love to see your card posted as a winner, all you have to do is play along.
Happy Friday everyone :)

ReplyDeleteHi Marisa! I hope your Thanksgiving holiday was wonderful! This is one of my favorite word sayings from Verve. I like how you added texture to the butterfly and layered it over the leaves!
ReplyDeleteSuch true words. :) Well, let me leave you a kind word about your card! I am happy you chose to look ahead to spring, by using a pretty yellow butterfly. I don't have nearly the amount of Christmas cards I need, but am tired of them already. LOL It's refreshing to see something other than Xmas. And do I spy Groovy Guava dp??
