Nice sketch, Roxie! You always do such a wonderful job. This is an anniversary card for my DH. We've been married 37 years, today! He is so supportive and loves all my stamping work. This came as quite a surprise for him this morning since I haven't been well and I'm due at the hospital in one hour for more testing. I respect doctors but am so so sick of them and all the testing! Sorry for the monologue on my illness.
Any way, this card went together easily. I used the Out of the Box Nestabilities technique and this nestie. It was the first time I've used it. Layer #2-a is a metallic sheen paper from Michele Ackerman. It's very pretty IRL and it's called *Yellow Wild Rose.* The border punches really pulled all the pieces together!
I hope you like it as much as my husband did! Thanks for looking!!! ~Chrysi~

Beautiful combination of paper and punches that completely highlights the image. Love the way you have doubled the nesties and still popped the image out the side.
