Thanks and CTS#104

I'm going to make this a quick one... since I got just a little out of breath on the last post =/

CAS(E) this Sketch #104 had me thinking, cutting, discarding, and carding again... Leigh, you've done your challenging best on this one!

 
All of the designers made fabulous, inspirational cards for us!  So why is it that I struggled so?  I think I was just out of practice after a full week of no-crafting!!
 
A darling friend from France sent me an extra little package for Christmas... I just had to incorporate one of her intricate little "thanks" into my card...
 

Using an Old Olive card base adding a few little hearts to provide the detail Leigh had in her sketch, and gold embossing that gorgeous die cut... mission accomplished - a card, and a thank you!!

    Your card is stunning, Michelle...the hearts are incredibly pretty, and pairing them with the Old Olive paper is a wonderful combination that allows that gorgeous 'thanks' to shine. WOW!

    So nice to see a card made from a colored card base for a change. The hearts really pop against the green and the gold thanks looks extra rich on it, too.
