This is my card for HYCCT1205 challenge. Kathy wants us to make a card that inspires strength and courage.
I decided to meet her challenge requirements through the colors I used on my card and my sentiment.
Color red - represents strength Color orange - represents joy and energy Color brown - represents health Butterflies - represent hope
My card base is poppy parade and the dsp is from SU's "everday enchantment" & "christmas cocoa" collections. The dsp has shades of poppy parade, peach parfait and soft suede.
My image is from SU's "fresh vintage" set. I stamped in poppy parade and lucky limeade.
My hope sentiment is from an unknown set. The layout is also today's sketch challenge #406. Thanks Korin for a great layout.
