Cherish Today


I have always been fond of quotes. I just think that so much inspiration can come from a couple of words and that that is just so wonderful. Today's card definitely goes into the note card category on my desk as it's simple style and lovely quote can be sent for many occasions.

I'm really into this Thomas Kinkade card but at the same time I have trouble sitting down for 1 1/2 to color it, so my favorite way to utilize this stamp of art is to stamp it in a color. Today I chose Mellow Moss by Stampin Up with a card stock base to match.

I choose pink to be my contrasting color and stamped 'Cherish Today' by Hero Arts in Pretty and Pink. Next I used my Quickutz to punch out a photo corner. I wrapped up the contrast with pink rhinestones.

I think the contrast packs a lot of punch!
