about Courage...CR84FN61

Hi there! Hope you are all having a terrific weekend! It's time for an all new CR84FN Color Challenge! Thanks so much to all who took on CR84FN60 ~ so many pretty projects filled the gallery! For nearly the next two weeks, we will be playing with the pretty color combo shown below:
This is a rather CAS card. For the focal point, I stamped one of the 4 wonderful sentiments from the Die-namics Vertical Greetings Die & Stamp Set on a label that was cut using a Die-namics Textile Rectangle & Stamp Set.
I finished it off with a layered bloom made using Die-namics Perfect Petal Trio. Just one of the many Die-namics flowers.
 For sketch inspiration, I referred to the My Favorite Things Guest DT 0912 sketch. YOU could be the next MFT Guest Designer! Please be sure to visit the MFT blog ~ click HERE ~ for COMPLETE details!
Thanks so much for popping in today! Please be sure to visit the DT members for wonderful inspiration (listed on my side bar) and the CR84FN site for COMPLETE details.
Be Sweet :)

MFT Supplies Used:
Stamps: Die-namics Vertical Greetings Die & Stamp Set
Dies: Die-namics Double Scallop Border, Die-namics Perfect Petal Trio, Die-namics Textile Rectangle & Stamp Set, Die-namics Mini Tabs Foursome
Cardstock: MFT Heavyweight Cardstock Kraft

    This is just stunning Mona! I love the fab sketch, the layers and stitching and this inspirational quote! The embossed background gives so much texture, and I love the scalopped die cut trims and die cut daisy, so many lovely details here!
