I seem to need many more “thinking of you” cards during the pandemic. I have several friends who live alone, and don’t have much (or any) family nearby. I try to get cards out every now and then in addition to checking in with the phone or email. Among my many blessings during this difficult time is to live with my best friend!
The current challenge at AAA Cards is for a CAS design:
I decided on a window card this time, using one of my favorite dies by My Favorite Things, the “Rectangle Peek-a-Boo Window.” I love the stitched lines around it.
This time, I’m playing along with the optional challenge of including flowers. These are from Pinkfresh Studio’s “Fancy Blooms” set. I colored them with Copics, and fussy cut them since I don’t own the dies.
I added a few clear drops to the inside of the card surrounding the sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s “It’s the Thought.”
It’s been an almost ideal weekend in terms of weather, sunny, breezy, and warm. Well, today would qualify as hot, but we got a lovely walk in earlier this morning before the temperature got too high. Even now, though, on the patio it’s very comfortable in the shade, thanks to the breeze. Yesterday we took our bikes to the Lehigh Valley Trail and did one section of the trail we hadn’t covered walking. Just one more section, and we’ll have covered all 25 miles (times 2.)
Thanks for the pretty reminder to do more TOY and window cards! Your fussy cutting technique is great! We also took a bike ride yesterday as you saw on Instagram. Hot but perfect for a bike ride around the river just below city center. Easier on my knee too.
It’s beautiful and will be a great comfort.
Stunning CAS card Karen! Thanks for sharing with us at AAA Cards.
Love this card design and your pretty little cluster of flowers is just perfect. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
Lovely card. As part of my church’s Pastoral Care team, I finally found a reason to make all those cards & send as many of our senior members don’t use computers, so no access to Zoom, although, like you, I think they prefer a phone call.
Cheers to being able to get through this pandemic with those we love & find as our best friends; just wish my friend cooked! (col).
I love the way you made this CAS with the window and then the beautiful pop of color with the flowers. Thanks for joining us at AAA Cards. Please join us again!
