Such a wonderful choice for this weeks FS!!! I've not had the pleasure of browsing Mary Beth's gallery, so it was lots of fun to find the perfect card for my inspiration today! Here's the lovely card that I chose to CASE: Ocean Breeze Silhouette WT310 by mbrcutie25 at Splitcoaststampers
I used a similar silhouette-themed stamp, but changed the the colors for a sunset, went with a square layout, used brads instead of gems and added some seagulls.
This the 2nd of 12 cards that a co-worker asked me to make for his wife. He's had some very serious health issues and wanted to give his wife a card every so often just to let her know how much her love and support means to him...
He's a very funny, light-hearted guy and when he asked me to do this for him, it was all I could do not to burst out in tears...what a wonderfully sweet gesture!!
Now the hard part is to come up with ideas...he wants funny, serious, lovey-dovey and a little raunchy (I'm hard-pressed for this one...) These challenges will come in handy to get these cards done!!
Thanks for looking!!
