Life is About..... w/TAWS

Good Morning Everyone!!

It is my DT day over at The Alley Way Stamps and I have a card to share using one of the new release stamp sets for this month~ Life is Short 

   Using this week's sketch from Retro Sketches I came up with this CAS card...

I just love this sentiment and though it matched perfectly with the great sketch. Very easy to put together and a great lift me up card for someone. 

After I had my rainbow cardstock cut to size and laid on how I wanted it, I wrapped some Trendy Twine in Black Licorice around my mat and at popped up the purple piece.

I stamped the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and adhered the whole thing to an A2 size card.

CAS right??

Well that is all I have for you this morning!

Hope you all have a GREAT  day and thanks so much for stopping by!!
