Thought I'd give some other soon-to-retire stamp sets some lovin' today, so I chose Elements of Style and Pursuit of Happiness. I *am* bummed that they're retiring Pursuit of Happiness, I've used that set a LOT. I really like Elements of Style too but haven't used it much of late. This was going to be a Mother's Day card until I settled on that "grateful" sentiment from Pursuit of Happiness; it shows up against the background better IRL than it looks like on the picture. And the ribbon matches the hummingbird better too, even though I've got some natural light in my craft room the colors in the pic seemed to be a tad off.

Kind of an unusual layout to my mind but I kinda like how my card turned out. I saw a card earlier today (I think it was in the new SU! catalog, demos can see it online now which I just figured out this afternoon, DUH) that had the reverse masking technique so I thought I'd give that a whirl today.
Hope you have a fantastic day and thanks for stopping by!
