This project was inspired by Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #151 and by ColourQ #297. I am so in love with this week's colour combo! There's a crisp, nautical feel to it that really appeals to me.
As I was trying to decide which stamp set to use for my card, the first one that popped into my mind was Million-Dollar Moments, a retired hostess set. I kept the whole design pretty straightforward. The sentiment translates to "After the rain comes sunshine" and I wanted it to be an encouragement card, so I kept everything low-key and not overembellished.

With all the other details in the sketch, keeping the focal point as a silhouette was a great idea! Nicely done. Thanks for joining us at the Paper Craft Crew! ~Deborah
