Hope you are all well and had a good week. I do look forward to my weekends but they go by far too quickly. Mind you, this year is passing me by at a rate of knots at the moment. Can't believe it's the first of September tomorrow. Really must make a determined effort to get some christmas cards done. Otherwise I may end up having to go out and buy some lol.
My card share for today is a request from my sister. One of their friends is 40 very soon and she wanted a card making. I know that the card is for a gentleman but my sister didn't really give me any other requirements.
Here is what I came up with.
I used a lovely stamp set from Wild Rose Studio together with their Man About Town papers. I used black glitter card to add some sparkle and some gold mirror card around the outside. The decorative corners are a Cheery Lynn die and also cut out of glitter paper. I used the sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp for the layout.
Hopefully my sister will like it. It's always difficult when you are asked to do a card and not given any ideas about what to do.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Sunday Sketch and Stamp - use sketch
