You are Special ~

Hola, mis amigos!  I decided to play along with a little challenge today…CASE Study Challenge #118.  I was pretty literal in my interpretation.  Here’s the challenge inspiration

I’ve had the Harvest Berries set from PTI for a while now and only inked it up a couple of times.  I love all that is done with it but have too many stamps, it seems, to give it adequate love.  I need an intervention!  lol

To begin, I stamped a background text in antique linen, the sentiment went in next.  Then the ginkgo leaves in walnut stain.  I added some berries in wild honey and then sponged the edges.  I added Glossy Accents to the berries to help them stand out a bit.  After everything had dried, I added it to the card base with foam tape.  After all that, it just looked blah blah bland!  So I added the leaves from Turning a New Leaf in fired brick.  Ahh, much better!

I’m sending this one off to Operation Write Home.  It’s a bit smaller size than they ask for (it’s requested that cards are the regular A2 size, but hopefully, it can be used and enjoyed.  I have a box of about 30 cards getting ready to be mailed.  I think I’m going to try to turn some scraps that have been laying around forever to some more cards before I send the box off though.  Hope you’re all having a great day!  Thanks for stopping by!!  :o) lyss
