I made a retirement card for a neighbor who is having a party on Sunday. I used Cindy's idea of a shaped card. Here is Cindy's card. Man's best friend by YLM at Splitcoaststampers Wendy gave us a challenge to use colors! Out with the copics. I stamped the image and colored with copics. I doodled around the image. After assembling the card I cut around the hexagon. It was easy with the checked paper. I just had to follow the lines. I then sponged the inside of the card with chalk and doodled some more. tfl
