It's a color challenge this time at CAS-ual Fridays! Feel free to use whatever shade of these three colors you'd like. There are so many possibilities!
Today's sponsor is Simon Says Stamp, who will kindly have a gift certificate waiting for the winner of this challenge.
I've been wanting to use some of the sentiments from Stampin' Up's Word Play set, and the one with the world is perfect for aqua and green. Glossy Accents on the world gives it a little needed interest since this is a really simple card. The orange is from a mat stack die that I cut the rounded tops and bottoms off.
Then I decided it was a little too simple, so I added some more stuff on the bottom of the card. I prefer it this way, I think.
Be sure to stop by CAS-ual Fridays to check out the Design Team inspiration, and to link up your vision of Aqua/Green/Orange!

Recently I was contacted by a young mother who was diagnosed with mesothelioma. As a girl, she loved to wear her dad's coat. Unfortunately, her dad was a construction worker who unknowingly came home covered in asbestos every day. I know, heartbreaking, right?!
If you have a few minutes, I would love for you to hear her story. Her goal in reaching out is to help raise awareness, and provide a sense of hope to others. Thank you!

Thanks for looking!

ReplyDeleteOh, no! My grandpa had mesotheleoma. But he was the one that worked in the office that had the asbestos - what a terrible outcome to loving to wear dad's clothes. Your card is great - love the fresh colours and I do think that adding the little stamping takes it to the next level!
ReplyDeleteThanks for passing on Heather's story...I will put her on my prayer list. Love your card, and do like it a smidge better with the little additions. Great use of these colors. Bev
