Thank you for all the kind messages left on my last post. My daughter is making a good recovery after her emergency open heart surgery.
A masculine card today for a chess player.
A masculine card today for a chess player.
The image and big sentiment are stamps from the Stampin' Up 'Game On' set, stamped on a cream, stitched square die cut and layer on a black mat. I used a Promarker to colour two of the chess pieces. For the background I used one of the Stampin' Up 'Best Plaid Builder Dies'. The dies come as a set of two to make plaid designs, but I used just one as I wanted to make the effect of a chess board. The stamps and die are both recent purchases, so I'll be sharing my card over in the NBUS challenge.
I am joining in the following challenges:
