We made it to Friday...yeah...congratulations going out to the newest Queen for the Day, susanbri...I had fun 'walking' through your gallery. Love, love your window cards, but in the end, it was this color blocked card that I kept coming back to! I really liked the clean CAS style, vertical orientation, and a WOW thought provoking sentiment. It was with that spirit, I chose B Line Designs the thinker image paired with Dr. Suess' THINKS quote.
I used emboss resist with ColorBox chalk inks on the body of the sentiment, stamped the thinker with VersaFine Smokey Gray...made a thought bubble...the thinker just HAD to be expressing a thought, right????? And using the ampersand and the letter 'D' is my favorite way to express my youngest sons' name. It was embossed with UTEE just to add a punch of shine!
This also fits into the new Mix-ability no.2 challenge to use emboss resist. I better get running, my &D is heading off to school and I want to give him a li'l encouragement for the day! Thanks for stopping by my corner of SCS...have a stunning weekend

You knocked it out of the ball park for both of these challenges. Love the colorful bands of color and how I love all of those wonderful unique stamps that you have in your collection. Having you back doing the challenges this week, has been the happiest part of my week. Your cards always do bring JOY!!!
