Sunny Thanks icsketch#33


This card is for a very good friend of mine. Can't say more as I might ruin the surprise, but I'm pretty sure she'll like it. I used a sketch from icsketches.blogspot.com and a digital image from Lindsay at http://www.shophandmade.com/Store/Lindsay. This is one of my favorite digital stamps! I cut out a piece of an overlay that my friend, Amy, gave me, sprayed it with gold Shimmer Mist, and used that as embellishment. I had also sprayed the shimmer mist on my cocoa background. I found envelopes at Big Lots the other day, and the shimmery brown square envelope and the overlay from Amy were my inspiration for this card. tfl

Black and White Birthday SC245


This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Sketch Challenge (SC245). Great sketch! I kept it simple so that it could be a masculine birthday card and so that it would mail easily (no lumps). tfl
