This is a fun card for our Hot Mess~Success group. I got messy with alcohol inks. I also made a bunch of friendship sentiment strips with my Misti and heat embossed them, so I have some ready to go next time.
Such a pretty card! I love the background, the large Hello, and the sentiment strip. I need to check out that embossing folder as I have been eyeing for a long time.

I just love this card! The texture on the purple is great, the depth on the sentiment looks wonderful, and I'm such a sucker for the blue inky panel! Great job!

Making a CAS card like this one takes great talent because every element is pretty exposed, and you hit this one right out of the park, it's FANTASTIC! I'm a big fan of purple, and this linen-textured SU cardstock is LOVELY!!! I have had that SSS CZ Design hello die on my wish-list, but it's been out of stock, I love how elegant this font is, and I hope to collect several more dies in this series. Heat-embossing that tiny message in white on black cardstock makes that tiiny message really stand out, and again, each detail is SO pristine! Your alcohol ink background is lovely, I haven't played with alcohol inks, but your GORGEOUS artwork certainly makes me hope that I can someday create a piece even half as beautiful. To be very honest, this is one of the most beautiful CAS cards I have ever seen, it's going into my favorites, and I am extremely impressed with your artistry AND your great technical skills as well. You're a great artist!
This card will go into my Favorites!!!
Thank you for truly delighting and inspiring me, I absolutely LOVE this card, and I mean LOVE!!!
