You Were On My Mind

This card was so much fun to make, and I really love this digi from Paper Fashions, Etc. It is free in the CDAC Freebie Digi Challenge, if you are a member of Crafters Digital Art Center, which is found here: http://priscillastyles.ning.com/. Membership is free, and the site is lots of fun! Check it out!
I used this week's Splitcoaststampers' sketch challenge - SC330 - for my layout, and today's F4A62 challenge to use layers.
The color inspiration came from ColourQ - cQc82 - found here: http://colourq.blogspot.com/.
I would just love to get a card with this sentiment...hopefully it will make someone's day! tfl
