For my card tonight, I created my little scene using four stamps from this set: the houses, two different clouds, and the sun. I colored it all with my Copics, and then layered it with Berrylicious(MFT), Crushed Curry(SU), and Ripe Avocado(PTI). My ribbon is from SU, and I used the Small Scalloped Die-namics from MFT for my scallops. My sentiment was cut out using a tag die from Spellbinders, but I cut off one end of it. I followed the Sweet Stop Sketch from this past week, as well.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great time on the rest of the hop!! Next stop, JODI'S Blog!!
