CAS-ual Fridays November Encouragement Challenge

Hello Blogging Friends!!

Today is the 18th of the month and that means it is the
 start of a new Encouragement Squad Challenge!

Calling All Sistahs November Encouragement Challenge

Why do we have the Encouragement Challenge??  There are a bazillion reasons someone might need a pick me up from going through an illness, relationship woes, working through a big life decision or just feeling a little lonely or unappreciated!  Wouldn't it be nice to have a stash of cards you could send to a friend or loved one who could use a bright spot in their day?  This challenge is here to help you with that!  On the 18th of each month we will start a new challenge with a new inspiration photo.

Here is the Sketch Challenge for November:

Here is my card:

Ingredients:

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Sands of Time 2 stamp set

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Hourglass Fri-Die

White card stock

Gray paper

Neenah Solar White paper

Pink paper

Vellum

Pink ink

Versamark

Rose Gold embossing powder

Clock embossing folder

For this A2 card I started with white card stock for the base of the card.  I took a piece of gray paper and the clock embossing folder and ran it through my Big Shot, inked the edges with pink ink and added that to the card.  I took a piece of Neenah Solar White paper, pink ink and the stamp from the Sands of Time 2 stamp set and stamped the heart sand onto the paper.  I then took the Hourglass Fri-Die and cut out the stamp.  I took a piece of vellum paper, and stamped the hourglass stamp with versamark onto the vellum and then heat embossed it with Rose Gold embossing powder and then I cut out the vellum with the hourglass die and attached that to the other hourglass shape with the sand stamped on it and then I added that to the card.  I took the sentiment from the same stamp set, versamark  and stamped it onto the pink paper.  I heat embossed it with Rose Gold embossing powder and  tore the edges of the paper with a distressing ruler and then added that to the card.
