Simple and sassy today for the Play Date Cafe where this week's color challenge is grass green, gold, and silver. An unusual combination, but I enjoy giving the 'ole crafting 'noodle' a work-out every now and again. Honestly, I love the result - it struck the right balance for me.My background was created using WaltzingMouse Musical Backgrounds. {sigh} It is a perfect stamp set. Paired with the lovely image and quote from Through the Trees (PTI), I hope it will be warmly received by its recipient - a beautiful person that is in my thoughts daily.
ETA: This card was created for fellow stamper, blogger, and mom, Katie Renz. She is battling Stage 4 stomach cancer. You can read her story here. It touched my heart and reminded me to be grateful for the blessings and small moments that colour my life each day. As you can imagine, treatment and health expenses are piling up. A lovely group of digital stamp designers have put together a special bundle of images and are collecting donations for Katie's family with the purchase of the images. Please check out the images and consider helping Katie and her family during this difficult time.
Stamps: PTI Through the Trees, WaltzingMouse Musical Backgrounds; Cardstock: PTI Rustic Cream and Pinefeather, SU Old Olive; Ink: SU Basic Gray, PTI Vintage Tea Dye duo - chamomile, VersaMark; Tools: SU Corner Rounder, PTI Heart Prints dies; Sassy Somethings: SU gold glitter, Stampendous Sterling Silver embossing powder
