Hello! How's your weekend going so far? It's a beautiful but chilly day here in the Northeast, but that's okay since I have quite a few indoor projects to work on, including some crafting!
It's time for a new challenge at Card Patterns, and this week we have a fun sketch from Nina Brackett:
You could also win an assortment of stickers from SRM if you play along with us--stop by the Card Patterns blog to see the loot and link up your design!
This week I decided to ink up a stamp that had yet to see any love, this big silhouette of the U.S. from A Muse. I love that it fills up a lot of space on a card to make a big impact, plus I can see myself using it for travel-themed layouts.
I stamped the heart over my home state, Indiana, as I'm thinking I'll leave this card for my hubby when the kids and I travel west this summer to visit my family. The sentiment is from the same A Muse set.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Pure Poppy, White)
Patterned paper: Papertrey Ink (Distressed Dots)
Stamps: A Muse Studio (Wish You Were Here)
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Baja Breeze, Real Red)
Tools: Papertrey Ink (double ended banner die)
Accessories: Ribbon Carousel (natural jute twine), Papertrey Ink (button)

Sooo cute! I love that heart over Indiana with that sentiment. Such a perfect card to leave for your husband.
P.S. I have been meaning to congratulate you on your new DT honor (CAS-ual Fridays). The existing DT is getting a gem, and CQ is losing one, but it's always nice to have new and different challenges in your life. All the best to you!
Great take on the sketch. Love that you put a heart where you are from. I'm sure your hubby will miss you and the kids.

And what a truly beautiful thought for your husband when you're away...
