The Card Concept #38: Miss You

Hello, friends!  I was able to make a few cards today because my youngest son has a fever and therefore we are not going anywhere.  He's taking a nap, so I was able to make a card in between the usual household tasks.

Today I'm playing with the color challenge at The Card Concept #38.  I think my card fits the definition of "clean and simple," maybe "clean and layered?"  I definitely was inspired by the colors this week!

 

I am getting ready to send in a final bunch of cards to Operation Write Home as they begin to wind down operations with their "Finish Strong" campaign.  They will not be accepting cards after August 1st, so I figured this is a good time to send them off.  I wanted to add a few "miss you" cards to the stash I'm sending, and this is one of them.

(Note that I know they don't accept cards with glitter for safety reasons, but this butterfly was cut from glitter card stock and I tested it, as they recommend, to make sure none rubs off when I scrape it with my finger.  Not one fleck of glitter came off.)

Supplies:
Papertrey Ink "Mehndi Medallion" stamp set
Jane's Doodles "Big Sentiments" stamp set
Simon Says Stamp Chrissy & Leanna butterfly dies
Lil' Inkers Stitched Rectangles dies
Hero Arts Mid-Tone Wet Cement shadow ink
DCWV glitter paper

Thank you so much for stopping by!
