A friend who has been battling cancer this last year mentioned recently that she finally felt like She Was Back ... so that was the Welcome Back that I was thinking about when I saw the Inspiration Photo at the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge.
I incorporated the contrast of black with the bold colors and large sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays Supercalifragilistic into my design.
I die cut the To Go Cup Fri-Dies Coffee Cup from a Tide Pool Foiled cardstock tag that someone left on the trade table at Junkie fest (you know I wasn't leaving that behind). I die cut the lid from a blank piece on the tag. I decorated the sleeve with a stamp from CAS-ual Fridays Beanstalks (which has apparently been discontinued).
I also took my inspiration from the Calling All Sistahs Challenge at CAS-ual Fridays (because seriously, who couldn't use a little encouragement). The scalloped pattern of the embossing paste reminded me of the image & the Tide Pool Foil looks like a rainbow.
This picture shows the gorgeous opalescent rainbow a bit better.
The layout is this week's Sketch Saturday.
LOL, LOVE your card! Thanks for joining us at the CAS-ual Fridays challenge #206
