Cruising along, brain in neutral...

It's so easy to relax  when you are crafting, isn't it? I find it takes my mind off just about everything else - even food! And this was a lovely relaxing card to make, very undemanding and yet it made a big impression on the snippets box - everything I've used on it came from there.

A few years ago I wouldn't have thought of Kraft card as a "neutral" but we crafters seem to have embraced it as one, and it always works well with other neutrals, especially shades of cream. This card was inspired by the work of the talented Christine Emberson, who blogs at Creativity Continues  - I really admire her talent for creating CAS cards using dies. In fact the dies I used were from her online shop, Hope & Chances, Spellbinders dies Sprigs and Jewel Flowers, and the textured card I've used behind the aperture came from a lovely goody bag I won in one of her charity kit raffles, so she's inspired the card in more ways than one!
