Sending Healing Hugs

Another CAS card, and this one for AAA challenge.

One of the hardest cards to make, but one we no doubt often need is the sympathy card. Lately I've been pulling out some of my older stash to create cards. Today was no different. Mixing old with some of the newer or staple items in my art studio. 

Used some memorable Stampin' Up paper for this card, and matched it up with some items on hand.

No doubt that healing hugs can be helpful during illness, but also during times of loss when soul needs to heal. I love this color palette.

I hope you have a craft stash of "healing" cards on hand.

Martini Required for AAA Cards

The challenge at AAA Cards . . . was a tricky one.  It was one (sentiment) plus three, and here were the elements that I chose: 

The optional theme was "friends".  And clearly you need your friends to help you reach that rim of the martini glass.

 My sentiment, plus three sequins, my stamped House Mouse image colored with my Zig pens. 

And I tried to keep it CAS. 

I hope you find some time to create today.
