Diane gave us a very versatile sketch today. Needed to make a birthday card for our oldest grandson who is turning 18. Hard cards to make....don't want it too cutsie. Thinking about it this morning, decided to keep it cas and because all the hype around this area is the Packers playing Sunday, wanted to use their colors. Started by stamping and coloring the image. Using a die, cut out the brick wall and used my much loved new stencil brushes, stenciled the bg. I scored the #2layer and added the twine as part of it. The sentiment is # 4. Taking a sheet of paper went around the card base and stenciled the border for #1. This really is an easy way to capture the same color as the brick. Using the micron pen wrote his name to personalize it. Go Pack Go!!!! TFL
