Oy, a busy Monday for me, but I survived and I hope you did as well! I had my first appointment today with a new primary care doc and I love her! Hubby has been using her and went with me. I actually have multiple issues that would improve my quality of life if addressed, and we have already begun. I'm feeling optimistic again about going to the doctor, which is no small thing for me. Her approach is refreshing. She is super smart and young, but not that young, she has some experience. So we shall see. Meanwhile, onto my card...
I am experimenting with an idea I have about choosing a CAS-looking sketch if I'm going to do a CAS card. So I hope this current month's sketch at Stick It Down was a good fit. I love this image and the sentiment that I heat-embossed in white powder. I also liked adding the ribbon.
I took pics this time of how I wrapped the wrapping paper around the thin chipboard. Nothing fancy, just got the job done.
SUPPLIES:
SU and Chatterbox card stocks
Recycled wrapping paper and chipboard from the back of a notepad
Darice 5x7 Snowflakes embossing folder
Gecko Galz Winter Magic collage sheet image
Spellbinders Classic Label
Ink: Versafine Clair, Versamark, Memento
Stamps: Papertrey Ink and Avery Elle
Hero Arts White embossing powder
Ribbon from my stash
The inside and back of my card. Using the dark blue back layer as a wider frame makes it feel like more of a masculine card.
I anchored the focal image and sentiment this time in red and it brings out the red in the collage sheet image. On the first card, the red photographed as orange red even though it was red.

I've been having a catch up on your posts I missed while we had no internet. Your cards all look fantastic. This card looks awesome as well.
I hope you get your health issues sorted, having confidence with the new doctor will help.
I hope you had a lovely Easter.
