Happy Friday :)

I am so excited for tomorrow! DH and I are staying in St. Paul at the Hilton and going to see the Count of Monte Cristo at Harriet Island on the Showboat!!! It is our 7th anniversary, and I can't wait to get away.

My card for today is for my dear grandmother. I think I mentioned before that she bought me a huge box of stamps from a garage sale, so I decided to use one of the images from mice messages for her card. I played along with this week's sketch challenge at SCS. This was a fun one. I stamped the image then colored it with my prisma pencils. (I love coloring:)btw) I then distressed the edges with timber brown ink and matted it on choc chip and river rock which I distressed with the paper distressor tool. For the small squares I used basic grey infuse papers. I pierced each piece and added faux stitching with a choc chip pen and going over with my clear glaze pen to add some dimension. I also distressed the edges of the squares. I was hoping to achieve a quilt look. Finally I stamped the sentiment, which I cut apart from the main image, in choc chip and embossed with clear EP. TFL!!!
