Welcome to Day 2 for the Inspired by Stamping Sneak Peek Week blog hop! Once again, I am showcasing the awesome "The Sky's the Limit" stamp set which has 15 stamps in it! This fun stamp set will be available for purchase tomorrow and there will be FREE shipping! I paper-pieced the balloon and the clouds, to create a colourful and masculine card!
I wanted to create a Birthday Card for my dear father in-law Glen! It is his birthday today, (65 years young). He always encourages me with my card making and often comes to visit me in the craftroom. So I had to create some extra special for him!! In keeping with a masculine theme, I kept this card clean and adornment free. I love that this set can be used to create a masculine card! I just added a wee button, for another punch of colour!
The inside of the card is also completed, with a lovely sentiment...I sure hope he likes it! The sketch for this card came from Our Creative Corner, I loved the sketch and the fact that I could "decorate" it as I wanted to! I hope you have the chance to visit the blogs of my teammates and to share some commenting love!! To continue on the Hop, please visit Susie Moore.Please remember that this set "The Sky's the Limit" will be available to purchase tomorrow on Saturday, December 10th and there will be FREE SHIPPING tomorrow too!
