Hello You Make Me Smile

 Hello I have a card today my main motivation was the Color Hues Challenge #111 Coral and Green.  I think these colors are fun and I immediately went through my stash to see what to make with these 2 colors.  Without further ado here's my card.

I love this CAS card I made.  I finally got to use a Pinkfresh Studio set that has been in my stash for a long while.  So I started off with Hammermill cardstock and stamped my first set of alpha images from the Pinkfresh Studio called Inna's Alpha Stamp set (unfortunately it's retired) using Lawn Fawn Black Licorice ink.  There are 2 large images for the whole alpha.  I needed both stamped.  I used my Misti stamping platform.  

I used the coordinating stencils to ink the letters, florals, and leaves.  I must admit that was fun.  I used inks Pinkfresh Studio Persimmon and Concord & 9th Grapefruit ink for the coral.  I used Concord & 9th inks in Parsley and Evergreen for the leaves for my green.  I inked the letters in Concord & 9th Dove ink for my neutral color.  I then used the coordinating dies to cut the letters out and like the stamp there is 2 large dies.

I arranged my letters to fit on my background die-cut.  I also cut out an extra set of letters with heavy weight cardstock to layer onto for dimension.  The die I used for my background is called Pinkfresh Studio Diagonal Stitched Plaid that I cut out in white 110 pound cardstock.  I glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I found a sub sentiment strip in my stash and I popped it up with a foam strip.  I embellished my card with Pinkfresh Studio jewels in Bubblegum.  I had so much fun making this card and I even have so many letters ready to go for future cards. I think this card will be for a crafty friend as I have been telling them lately they make me smile and it's true.💖

I also will be linking my card to the Pinkfresh Studio Anything Goes Challenge there is a color inspiration as well.  I will have to try that next time.
