CCC #37. hope whispers...

Hello friends!!  Tuesday has arrived and that means time for a brand new CASology challenge!!  Everyone really rocked the challenge last week and came up with some really fabulous cards using the song cue word.  This week we have another great cue word for you:  hope.  All the details for the challenge can be found here.

 

For my card this week I decided to use a lovely stamp set from the Craft's Meow called Hope Blooms.  The set has all these beautiful line drawn flowers and quotes.  I stamped one of the flowers and the sentiment using Tuxedo Black ink on cream cardstock and then colored the flower using pale green and pale pink Copic markers.   Once I was done coloring the image I mounted the piece on a cream cardstock base.   A very, very simple card using one of my favorite layouts.   I did give a few moments thought to adding maybe a few pearls, but decided against it because I honestly think that adding those few pearls would have just been a distraction.  Clean and simple may seem like it is easy, but in fact it can be very hard because you really need to exercise restraint and know when to recognize that you have added too much to your card... even if it is just a few pearls.

Thanks for stopping by.... I really cannot wait to see what hope related ideas all you super talented papercrafters come up with for this challenge!! In the meantime make sure you check out the cards from the rest of the design team: Melissa, Tracey, Jen, Ardyth, Judy, Maureen, and Meghan
