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

Susan, thank you so much for honouring my reign as Queen for the Day with a CASE of one of my cards! I love the way you changed my blues to a full rainbow of colour! I worked for many years as a Children's Librarian so I especially love the fact that you used a Dr. Seuss quote on a card for me!

Susan, see how happy we are to see you back in your creative glory. This is just stunning and I'm glad to see how well it's been received. Found it in the Favorites as I am not able to visit the galleries daily right now. Happy, happy, happy that my friend has returned.
