Hello

Hello crafty friends, it has been a long time since I joined a card challenge. My craft room is all packed up as we are doing some renovations, I did manage to make a small corner to create a card though. 

I am joining the AAA Card Challenge it is perfect with a CAS card. I am a sucker for a good card sketch.

One of the things that was close at hand with my craft stuff was a bowl of random die cuts.  I started by picking the leaves, and the sentiment.

I chose a piece of designer paper that would work well with the die-cut piece and I adhered that vertically on my card base, turning the sketch. I overlapped the designer paper with the leaves die-cut.

I adhered the sentiment then finished the card with some black gems.

Supplies: White and black cardstock, Designer Paper - Simply Stated Design, Hello and leaves - Unknown, gems.

Did you know: Tuesday gets its English name from the Old English Tiwesdæg and the Middle English Tewesday, meaning ‘Tiw’s Day.” Tiw was the Norse God of Single Combat, Victory, and Heroic Glory
