The sentiment is from the 'Christmas Moments' set by SC Design. Close-up on the image: Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend! Hugs,

Hello Everyone! Today I want to show you a card I made a while back. It was for a magazine publication (My Hobbies, an Indonesian paper craft magazine), therefore I was not able to show it any earlier. The rubber stamp is from Whimsy's Crissy Armstrong line called Hippie Birthday, Man . As always the image was colored with Copics. Papers are from an older Basic Grey collection. The sentiment is from the Boy Talk Sentiments set and the stars are cut out using the Pierced Stacking Star Die. Flowers and all other embellishments are from my stash . Thanks for visiting me today and have a great start into the new week.
