My mother-in-law asked me to make a card for her twin sister for their birthday. So I used this sentiment that I had made up on the computer and saved for future use. I really love the sentiment. This is for Misti's VSN challenge of Ice Cream Social. The picture reminded me of this stamp. So I stamped it and cut a quick mask and sponged Worn Lipstick around it. I managed to match the Worn Lipstick color pretty perfectly with my Spectrum Noir Markers (CR4 and CR5) for the spots that were still white. This was going to be a very CAS card, but I just didn't like all the white space, so I kept filling with DP, and score lines, and pen lines. I'm happy with it now.
P.S. I'm bummed that I only got to participate in one of the VSN challenges live tonight. Next VSN I'm sending my family away! I mean, I came home to a mess of a house and had to clean it up, and then help my husband move the washing machine so he could work on it. Next time. But I still look forward to seeing everyone's creations and making my own in the next week!

FUN FUN FUN. This is one of those cards that you can look at many times and see something you missed the times before. All things work so well together! LOVE the sentiment.

Fabulous!! I have this image and yours is the very best coloring of it that I've ever seen. Well done! Into my favs. Terrific card design. I know what you mean about interruptions. Really stops the creative thought and dampens the mojo. My DD got me a closed/open sign to hang on the door of my craft room! Love the sentiment you used. Looks like a great card for one twin to send to another. TFS
This is super fun Jennifer! I think that every time we have an event here at SCS, "I am going to make supper a super easy meal and I am going to request the time" but somehow something always comes up! Still, it's fun that you were able to create one and this card is a beauty!!!

What a terrific sentiment that is! That image is wonderfully coloured and the overall card design works really well. It must have been a challenge woking with such a large sentiment!
