This is my late entry for the TSC. Thanks so much Shirley, for picking my gallery this week!!! I made it for my dh's friend, who is also turning 40 this week.
I cased this card; Happy 60th by Darla Ryan at Splitcoaststampers
I used real red and more mustard cs, instead of real red and pumpkin, and used hemp twine instead of paper piercing. I colored my little crab scene with metallic art pencils. The sentiment is different, too, and I added some flat silver brads, which were a gift from my friend, Thonz!
Thanks for looking!!!
