Gratitude Is The Memory Of The Heart

Hi everyone!! Happy Tuesday!!

Here is my card for today's Color Challenge on SCS, CC239, Mellow Whites, as well as for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge, MTSC42! I LOVE Mercy's sketches!

For my card, I started with my focal panel and cut a piece of Kraft cardstock with a Large Curved Rectangle Nestie. I then stamped the sentiment, "Gratitude is the memory of the heart", which is from the BEAUTIFUL set from There She Goes, Act of Kindness.

I then stamped some of the flowers from the same set in Whisper White Craft Ink all around the edges, put the panel BACK into the nestie and sponged it with Creamy Caramel ink.

I then cut a circle of Mellow Moss with a Circle Nestie, stamped another image from Act of Kindess in Whisper White Craft, put it back into the nestie and sponged it with Mellow Moss Ink. The back panel was also stamped and sponged the same way.

I added TONS of Taylor's Tiny Twinkles and I love how sparkly this came out. I pierced instead of sewing...I am trying really hard to NOT sew on each of my cards!! I finished this off with a double ribbon of Whisper White Organdy and Kraft Taffeta Ribbons!!
