Good Morning blogger friends,
My card today is for the Stars and Stamps Sketch Challenge #114 found here. I started with Very Vanilla Card Stock and used a background stamp from SU on the card base as well as the focal image. The sentiment is also from SU. I made a frame for the focal image using Square Nestibilities in Basic Black. The gems are by Kaiser and I made the two different background papers with Alcohol Inks.
Maybe, if I'm lucky, I'll get some more cards made today so I might be back later on tonight. I wish you all a wonderful Sunday and, as always, I appreciate your visit here with me today.
great backgrounds - love the addition of the gems in the corner - thanks for supporting OWH
