2 Sketches 4 You Challenge Card

What?!! No bows, buttons, flowers or glitter!!? We have an older nephew's birthday coming up, and the 2 Sketches for You challenge seemed a really good one to work with.
I used my new Inkadinkado stamp set, Sizzix Stars die, MM ribbons and letter stickers, some ancient wood effect sticky-back plastic, and Colorbok silver star stickers. I bought some thick acetate sheets on Ebay for the clear card front, and made my own card back, with textured black card. I just stamped in white an Autumn Leaves journalling panel, and used the white uniball pen for the message (This is about the 5th white pen I have tried, and is far and away the best - really smooth and opaque)

  2. I love the striking black and read on the clear - very very effective. Have your tried a White Sakura Souffle pen? - I loooove how it writes and dries on paper..
