Card Recognition

16 years ago...


16 years ago....  and on the inside I selectively inked the rest of the PTI Big Birthday Wishes sentiment to say "on what otherwise might have been just an ordinary day" for my card to celebrate my first date with my husband.  I asked him out, reason to celebrate right?  I've used the CPS sketch and the PTI Anniversary color challenge.  On a different note-- I'm hosting a photo challenge on my work blog, if any of you would like to pop over and vote for your favorite Nevada City photo that'd be great.  And-- since I won Leenne's Artful Delight blog giveaway I promised that I'd do a purge of my own... so come back, a clean out giveaway is in the works.


Materials: PTI Big Birthday Wishes sentiment, PTI By the number die, Tim Holtz Ornamental die, Spellbinders Label die, PTI edgers die, PTI impression plate, PTI kraft and pure poppy card stock, My Mind's Eye Six by Six patterned paper, May Arts natural string, Sharpie black pen, Versafine black ink, Stampendous clear embossing powder, Tim Holtz distress ink shabby shutters
