Note To Self:: You're So Special

Hi there friend! I hope you had a relaxing weekend! I certainly did, enjoying time at my sister's for Mother's Day. I have a little card to share with you today using CR84FN's fabulous color combo AND the new CAS-ual Fridays Text challenge! Super fun, I say! So many of my bloggy-friends are on the DT and I just had to play along, especially after seeing all of their fantastic creations. Here is what I came up with.

I started by heat embossing my flower image in white and stamping my text onto them. Cut them out and adhered them to a white card base.

Stamped my sentiment in Smokey Shadow ink, threaded my buttons with gray thread and adhered those with glue dots.

Here is a pic of the colors from CR84FN:

Well, that is all for me for now. I hope to hit my craft table sometime today (gotta love happy mail!), so much to do, so little time! Have a great day my friend.

Lindsay
