just a note ...

Just a note

Card was largely based on this week's CASE Study Challenge #185

I wanted to replicate the simple 1-layer card, which has always been a challenge for me - but in order to satisfy my itch to get patterned paper onto the card, I had to resort to doing paper piecing a lot of the elements (the trees, the little birdie and the clouds...) and ended up with lots of stamping and fussy-cutting ...phew! 

love this case study sketch and am going back to the table to see if I can create one with more white space and less elements on the card

Am also entering this into the April 6-12 "Anything Goes" Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge 

 stamps are from Paper Smooches - Spring Groves (the trees and birdie), Spiffy Scooters (cloud) and Sentiment Sampler ('just a note') stamp sets
