S & S Sketch #145

Good Sunday afternoon to all of you.  For today's sketch over at Stars & Stamps I tweaked it a bit to suit the vision I had in my little brain.  Here is our sketch we had to go by.
Here is my card for today.  As you can see I turned it to suit the image and I took license with the vertical stripes.
The image is from the SU set titled Thoughts and Prayers.  I colored the stamp with SU markers before stamping it.  The sentiment is by Gina K Designs from the set titled Love Notes.  I think the sentiments in this set a great for our heroes and their loved ones.  I also colored that one before stamping.  My stripes were made but just cutting thin strips on my wavy cutter.  The background panel is embossed using the SU Fancy Fan folder.  I figure this one could be used for Valentines day as well as any other day of the year.  Thanks for taking some time out of your day to stop by.  Hope to see you again soon.  The sun is shining bright here today and I hope you are all getting a bit of sunshine today also.  See ya soon!

  3. Another beautiful card, Donna! Love the image and sentiment combination. I have some similar image stamps that I've never used with a sentiment this way. I think I'll have to give it a try.

  10. I LOVE the sentiment you placed on this pretty card! I haven't used that stamp set in ages and really need to get it out and inky again soon! I love the decorative edges and beautiful colors! Wasn't that sunshine awesome this morning? By afternoon it turned cloudy again and the air felt almost like snow was about to fall - it got cold quickly! Stay warm, and have a fantastic week!
