The cleaning bug finally seems to be leaving me. The house is looking fresh and shiny and I have a pile of things to cart away. Ahhh! My quest to embrace minimalism in my living space is far from completed but at least I've made a few steps in the right direction. The Craft Cave, however, will never under any circumstances be considered minimalistic and that's just fine. I need a little clutter somewhere in my life...
Speaking of which I spent a lovely couple of hours amidst the crafty clutter yesterday morning and I made a card for the latest ColourQ challenge. The pattern on the bag made me think of Papertrey Ink's Quatrefoil die so I ran it through my Cuttlebug using each of this week's colours and then put them all together on the front of the card. The sentiment is from the Simply Said collection by Paper Smooches and it's quickly becoming my favourite of their sentiment sets. Have a lovely day! Supplies Used
Cardstock: (White) Bazzill, (Pink Pirouette, Poppy Parade, Tangerine Tango, Lucky Limeade) Stampin' Up
Stamps: (Sentiment from Simply Said) Paper Smooches
Ink: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Die: (Quatrefoil) PTI
Gem: (Cupcake assortment) Doodlebug
