Word Power #5

Hello again, my friends!  There is still time to leave a comment on my 10th 
Blog-a-versary post for a chance to win that prize!  Find all the details here.  One comment per visitor, thanks! 

I have been busy for weeks going through 10 years of supplies, and deciding it was time to let go of a few things when BAM!  I was given a huge stash of supplies from a sweet cousin who decided it just wasn't for her!

Among her supplies was a big supply of sentiment sets!  Today, this one called my name:


This will come in handy one day, I'm sure of it... and whose day wouldn't be
brightened by this Anita Jeram bunny?


I stamped and clear heat-embossed the sentiment on a sweet journal card cut with an
Elizabeth Crafts die that a friend just traded me for a few sets from my cousins' stash.  

The embossed panel in the back is from another crafty friend - and
added the prettiest texture for my CAS card.

I used a barely damp brush to add a little inky color to the bunny and his 'brolly' -
with a few added 'raindrops' my card was done!


Even though that bunny is a cute distraction, I feel it's the words that represent my heart - perfect for my friends at the Word Power #5 challenge!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Yes, it's time for me to 'destash' again... I can feel it in my waters, maybe I need to borrow this cute umbrella (and that fab sentiment, I'd be thankful for that share lol)

That is such a lovely sentiment and you have showcased it brilliantly with that bunny and his umbrella. The embossed background add the perfect amount of interest to your CAS card. I love the tiny hint of colour on the white too xx

What a sweet card, Michele. Hold on to those wonderful sentiments.

The Anita Jeram stamps tug at my heartstrings. Your card says something beautiful in the sweetest way possible. I love the clean lines with the embossed background and just a touch of color. Your cousin's stash is all new to you, and you can decide what to keep and what to pass on. Sentiments are always useful. Fun choices! Good luck with your de-stashing!
