Today I cased one of my favorite cards, made by one of the sweetest stampers here. This card by Tosh is one of my all time favs (kinda like her!) And wouldn't you know, this sketch is by one of my fav stampers too- Andrea Ewen! Quite the mix.
This card is for Tosh's DD, Nichole, to thank her for this card. Nichole and I share a love for dark colors, my fav being brown- and her fav is black! (the fav framing color for me!) I chose the lined bg paper, as Nichole will soon be off to college. The bg is cuttlebugged, and I added one of my favorite Scriptures from Hampton Arts. The bg is framed with the wandering stitch (Kokirose style) and the black framing is distressed.
Thanks for a great day girls! Lunch was the best, and the chat even better! Hugs x2!

Why have I never really realized that you love the dark tones so much???? What??? Your work always brings a happy & bright spot to my life ... so "darkness" simply does NOT compute! ;)
Love this oh so much!

Pure deliciousness in chocolate and a winner of a layout make this card a treaure for Nicole. The crocheted flower and the green ferns leaves set this one in perfect time to the wandering stitching. LYMI
