Cherish Every Moment

Brrrrr..... nothing to do today but stay in where it's warm and get crafty! I'm sending this card over to the girls at Freshly Made Sketches. 

I had something completely different in mind for this card using a feather element from the PRS DIY set. But while reaching for it, I saw the arrows and, bingo an idea was born! I thought they were a great choice for those vertical skinny rectangles in Cécile's sketch. They're all stamped in the same gray ink. I just stamped multiple times in my Misty to get three different shades. Also from PRS, is the Positive Thoughts set that completed my design. Something different, something fun!

I hope you're enjoying your Sunday and staying warm!

When the inspiration hits, run with it -- and run you did, right into a great card! Love the non-traditional, artsy feel of this card, Lisa, and the sentiment font is very fun

What a wonderful interpretation of this sketch, Lisa.
I love your color choices, and the design is really cool. I love that you varied the intensity of the color of the arrows.
