Hey there! How is everyone out there? I am feeling much better and glad my medications are starting to work. This card is inspired by Travelingmama's Challenge. I was inspired by the colors in the photo. The main colors were hues of blue and a shade similar to sand (i.e., kraft). I also saw some cream and a bit of red popped in there.
I made this tag for another card, but it did not work out, so I incorporated it into this card. This card is super busy, but I rarely get a chance to embellish cards like this, so I like how it turned out. It almost could be framed art! So, what reason could you send this card? Whatever! That's why I like including a sentiment like Memories because it can be used for birthdays, mother's day, love, missing you, whatever you wish that has a memory behind it.

Ashley, this is so cute and very artsy! ;) I love the collage feel to it! love the dotted background! I'm totally loving the canvas fabric too! About your question on my post to this challenge, remember about the ribbon on whether I stitched it myself? I wish I could take credit but no. the ribbon came like that, it's by American Crafts! I found it Michael's
