Ok, on to the card. I wanted to make an encouragement card and I used the Mojo Monday sketch #90 for the layout. I really wanted to keep it clean and simple, and I think I accomplished that. I've had these gorgeous Primas since my trip to Calgary in March (I know...I have a hoarding problem...grin!) but I thought this was the perfect layout to use one and just add a sentiment. The sentiment is one of the quotes from Faith and Hope at Taylored Expressions. It reads "Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons do not last. The spring rain will come again. by Sarah Ban Breathnach". It's stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto mellow moss and cut out with square nestabilities. I pierced around the edge for a little interest. The patterned paper is retired SU close to cocoa designer paper and the ribbon is from my stash. I used Choice Buttercream for the card base and ran it through my Stylized Flowers cuttlebug folder.
Thanks for stopping by!
