Need a Hug??

"My Best Boy" provided by ADFD
 When I saw this image from A Day For Daisies [ADFD] it spoke to me... "Need a hug?"  Perfect for the the current Aud Sentiments challenge to create a "Thinking of You Type Sentiment - such as Get Well, Sympathy or for someone going thru a hard time."
ADFD is sponsoring the challenge and there are some wonderful inspiration cards created by the Design Team.  The challenge lasts thru August 12 and you can submit up to 5 images for a chance at the ADFD prize.  You can see the samples, read the rules and enter your card at Aud Sentiments!

  9. Hi Ginny, love the muted colour scheme on your card. A perfect image for the theme. I do so love ADFD's simple but stunning images. The rounded corners are a great touch too. Perfect card for a man or a woman.
    Hugs,
    Sandy

  10. You've proven to me that cards don't need a lot of doo-dads, a lot of different colors, a lot of fancy anything. This image and your simplicity in it's coloring and the neutral papers...this card is absolutely beautiful. Fantastic to simplify this down to a hug. Adore this and I'm saving this on my desktop. It is just wonderful. Thanks for joining us at Crafty Sentiments this week. I hope you'll check with us again every Tuesday for our new challenge and join in! Hugs, Gail
