You Brighten My Day



Hi there!

It's been really sunny and warm here when normally we have the traditional April showers ... Ginger cat and I have been able to sit in the garden under the sun umbrella which was my inspiration for the card I have to share for The Card Concept 


Such lovely colours here aren't they?
Here's my card in full


I noticed the silver elements in the photo together with those lovely greys, the bright patterned pink and the glimpse of frames... Hence the frame, the silver sequins and word and the little touches of silver added to the umbrella


My problem is what category to enter this in ... Is it CAS or Clean and layered?
It's easy to replicate but it does have a couple of images - I think I'll go for CAS


Wishing you all a lovely day and thanks so much for your visit

LOVE this but I would call it clean and layered! Love the silver bits and sequins and that perfect sentiment, Ros!

Your card is beautiful, I love your clean and white, CAS card! Love the pop of pink and grays! Glad you and the cat are spending time in the sunny garden! We are getting rain this morning, Ros, my garden is looking like a jungle, lush and green. That is not normal for here so I love it! Have a wonderful Friday!
