CCC #71... thinking of you

Hello friends!!  Tuesday has arrived once again and that means time for a brand new CASology challenge!  As we have come to expect there were lots of fabulous projects for last week's challenge!  With Christmas right around the corner (yikes!!) we have a bit of a more Christmas themed cue word this week: bell!   I just know this week's gallery will be crammed full of fabulous entries!  Joining us this week in the guest designing spot is the seriously talented, Anita! .  All the details can be found here.

Instead of going with a card that featured bells of the Christmas variety I did a little out of the box thinking and decided to go with my PTI Year of Flowers:  Lily of the Valley set.  I die cut the image (so glad PTI made dies to match the YOF sets!) and then colored it with Copic markers.  The sentiment from the sent was stamped on a fishtail banner that I die cut using my MFT Fishtail Flag Stax dies.   To provide a bit more interest I pulled out my trusty piece of burlap and embossed the card base.   You might be tempted to think that large images don't work well for clean and simple cards, but I think this card shows that they can work amazingly well.

Thanks for stopping by... I cannot wait to see where this week's "bell" cue word take you!  In the meantime make sure you check out the cards from the rest of the design team: Melissa, Judy, Meghan, Ardyth, Gillian, Maureen, Kimberly, Jen , Tracey and guest designer, Anita.
