Another hot and sticky day in NE Ohio. Storms have been moving all afternoon bringing some much needed rain, Just hoping the cool weather isn't too far behind!
This is week #136 at CYCI and it's a sketch challenge. Here's the sketch and my take on it.
I used a creamy white sateen sheet of Coredinations paper that I've been storing for many a day. The embossed card base is Filigree Frame by SU, The black is plain cardstock and embossed with Birds & Swirls by Cuttlebug and the front white piece is embossed with Thistle Tile by Anna Griffin for Cuttlebug.
The red bling is a gelly gem roll up from gel-a-tins and the word LOVE is a Jolees's Botique adhesive gem.
That's all for me today. I'm going to go outside and dodge some raindrops while making burgers on the grill and picking what might be the last of the tomatoes off the vine.
Don't forget to stop by and visit the gals at CYCI. They have made some pretty amazing cards this week!

Very sweet card, Chris! And what a fun way to add a sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI tried at least 10 sentiments but none seemed to give this the pop that this one does. Thanks for stopping by!
