Hello Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying your weekend! Today I like to share a  card I made using Whimsy's Feather and Flourish sentiment set by SC Design.

Sentiment and feathers are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Only embellishments are a few pink rhinestones. Thanks for stopping by today,

Hello Everyone, wishing you all a wonderful Saturday! I have a little card to share with you today which I made using a sentiment set and die from Whimsy stamps . I used the Pierced Stacking Star die from Whimsy by SC Design and the Boy Talk sentiment set also by SC Design. This is a pretty simple card but I think just perfect as a male card. I also did not used much embellies just 2 small star brads and a bakers twine .  To make the sentiment stand out a little more on the kraft cardstock I actually stamped it with water mark ink and embossed it using black detail embossing powder. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend! Hugs,
