CASology 245 – grow

What a cue card for CASology #245:

Timely and full of potential! Here is what I came up with:

A Bit Of Glue & Paper - handmade clean and simple thank you card stamped in gold with leaves in a circle, thank you in black, some leaves embellished with gold gel pen; CASology 245 #CASology254 - Vancouver BC

The idea I had going in to this design was someone grateful to a parent or mentor who has helped along the way and shaped the person they are today.

I pepped up the stamping with some gold gel pen on one type of leaf. It makes it a bit asymmetrical but I still like the way it draws the eye.

  1. Wow, what a gorgeous card! I love the meaning behind it — I could see the thinner branches representing the student and the fuller branches representing the mentor or teacher. It all does come full circle, doesn’t it? Love the gold accents and the clean, simple, classy deign. A beautiful card! Thank you for joining us at CASology this week!
