I made this card for my SIL who starts a new job on Monday, leaving her little son for the first time. Thought she could use something to make her smile. I reached for this uber-cool office image from MFT. Doesn't the houndstooth check just make this? I also was able to use my new BG stamp to create woodgrain for her desk. I used Prismacolor pencils and markers to color on this, with a watercolor wash for the background.
Thanks for viewing and commenting.

The houndstooth totally makes it! Love your paper piecing in houndstooth and woodgrain and how you carried the houndstooth over with the dry embossing. Just fabulous! She's going to love it!
