Wishing you a wonderful day

Hi everyone - Playing in the CAS colours & sketches #421 challenge today.


I really wanted to use this new die from The Greetery on this sketch and was bound and determined to get it right. I think it took me 5 tries to get everything lined up and as close to perfect as I could. My first sentiment that I wanted to use, just would not line up, even with the Misti. Then I got embossing lines, where I didn't want them....I'm sure you've all been there, inky fingerprints that wont come off, etc.  Well, I FINALLY got it! Whew.  That is aged mahogany distress ink behind the brick die cut. Added the sentiment from Paper Roses and a dragonfly die cut and called it done.

Have a great weekend.
