This is my card for today's featured stamper challenge. Kharmagirl's original beauty can be seen here: WT144 Kind by Kharmagirl at Splitcoaststampers. I loved it from the first second I laid eyes on it!!
I had a specific purpose for making a card today, and this really worked well for it. I sponsor a woman through Women for Women International ( www.womenforwomen.org ), and this week I was given a new *sister*. So I'm writing my intro letter to her, and sending it in this card. The organization asks that packages reamin as flat as possible, so on my version I left off the hardware.
Other changes I made were: the ribbon, the color, the stamp set, and I added Primas with Stickles for centers. I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out!
I think I am the only person who does not have the photo corner punch, lol. To make mine, I used a square punch, cut the square in half diagonally, and then used the square ounch again to punch a bit out of the center.

I love your beautifully cased card. This is really nice in the Yellow. I never would have thought to do it in this color but the results are fabulous. I love everything. WOW!!!!

I tried your link, but it didn't come up. Whatever it is, I'm sure you are a special person to become involved. Your *sister* is going to love this gorgeous card, I'm sure. What a nice way to introduce yourself. Good luck in this endeavor!
