Path of Positivity - Optimism

Today marks the start of Challenge 5 at the Path of Positivity Challenge.

Here is a card that I created for inspiration:

The background paper is one from DCWV - a matstack of night sky type papers.  This particular one reminded me of wind blowing through the trees and fitted the quote that I have used perfectly.  You'll have to scroll down a bit further to see the quote!  The image comes from Fresh Brewed Designs and is called April Swings.  I added some stitching around the image for definition.  The layout is based on the sketch for last week's challenge at Seems A Little Sketchy.  The pennant border is a Spellbinders die which I embossed and then added some colour to using Distress Ink - Barn Door.  The flower and leaves have been crafted using a couple of Marianne's dies and some scrap papers.

Now on to have a look at the sentiment:

The sentiment that I have used is one created by Lisa at Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  I used a die from Spellbinders to cut the sentiment out.   I've used the same paper as on the outside of the card.

The sponsors and prizes for this challenge are:

* Ten digital images from Creative Bug Digital Stamps for the person out of the top seven who receives the most votes during voting week
 * Three digital images from Ike's World for the post or project that the DT deems most inspiring of the bunch.
 * Three images from Fresh Brewed Designs, this month's guest sponsor for a person chosen in a random draw based on all entrants
 * One digital designer paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles for one lucky voter who leaves a comment.
 * One digital sentiment for every single person who enters the challenge.

So, what are you waiting for.... head over to Challenge 5 at Path of Positivity.
