Anyway, I have some fun news...I will be joining the fabulous ladies known as Mercy's Muses to bring you samples for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge on a permanent basis! I'm so excited...y'all know how I love my sketches (and *altering* them...heehee). Thanks, Mercy, for having me! So here's the sketch Mercy whipped up for today:
And I decided to be good again this week. Here's my card:
Isn't it fun? Now that I see the picture, I wish I had moved the stars up a scoonch higher, but oh well! I pulled out my Polka Stars set from Verve and decided to use this week's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge to make a fun little card. I think this will be perfect to send with Caleb during testing...4th grade is a biggie here in TX. The sentiment is a combination of two stamps. I inked up the "You're My" from Father Figure and "Superstar" from Great Expectations to create a fun sentiment that's all me. Added a bit of sponging in Marigold Morning and Close to Cocoa on the Cream panel, and some texture with the Swiss Dots and D'Vine Swirls embossing folders, and voila! A super fun card that should make a 9 year old smile. I hope y'all like it, too.

What a happy card! Your sentiment banner is terrific!
Hi Shannan - I just loved this card and I needed to make a masculine thank you - so I copied your card. I only changed the colour of the swiss dots portion and changed the sentiment. What a great creation you came up - hope you don't mind that I copied it. TFS.
