arrows

a celebration card - to celebrate a special day or a special someone or just to celebrate the essence of life!

card was inspired by (i) CAS-ual Fridays: CFC107 challenge to feature an arrow or arrows;
and (ii) CAS(E) this sketch #34 design as shown below, with the arrows forming the main vertical design whilst the sentiment here ends up being the horizontal element of the card

* sentiment from Paper Smooches (Pretty Phrases stamp set) was stamped first, and then embossed in black
* the arrows were then separately stamped (using the arrow stamp from Hero Arts - Stamp Your Story - Brush stamp set) and embossed separately with green glitter embossing powder, green metallic embossing powder and black embossing powder
* at the top left hand corner of the striped paper, I tore down about an inch and distressed the edges before turning back and stapling the two torn sides
* in the exposed area of the tear - I placed a lace heart sticker for accent
