Have you ever had a time where you’ve suddenly remembered you need to mail a card right away – but you haven’t made (or bought) the card yet?  I have to confess that happened to me yesterday.

A couple of the Splitcoaststampers Clean and Simple challenges were lurking in the back of my mind.  I combined them for this card by using the layout from one and by using designer paper to create some of the elements on it.  If I’d had more time to work on this, I would have added some sponging, or possibly would have swapped the pink and white layers.  It looks a little stark to me the way it is.  But it’s in the hands of the postal service now, so I just have to hope it brightens the day of its recipient.
