This is for today's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 549 - What's Your Birthstone?/ Well I am an October baby and tried all morning to think of what to do and how to find some "opal" colored cardstock and then this afternoon my daughter (e3stamper) reminded me I could use pink. Duh!! See what happens when you try to create something before your 2nd cup of coffee? LOL. Determined to play along I went with pink tonight and my favorite sentiment set from SU. My layout is from Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 558. I was going for the illusion of painting. I hope I accomplished it. I used my scissors to fray the ends of the paper pieced cs on the paint brush and popped it up on dimensionals. My sentiment is stamped in blushing bride ink and the inside is the same as the envelope so I did not take a picture of it. Hope you like it.

I am a october baby too and some opals are all different colors too so you rocked it, as well as the painting part....and that is the cutest little brush I have ever seen. Great job wit the sketch and perfect verse to go along...TFS..:0)

Oh, this just made me smile big time!! First the card, then your write-up. Opal was an alternative to diamond for April, and no more inspiring to me. Brilliant use of the sketch, too.
