sunday stamps/sketch-a gift for you

Welcome to this weeks sunday stamps challenge, it is a sketch week. I have created this card for a very special person! I joined the @goodygoodygiftswap on IG this year. You get paired with a person and exchange gifts...what fun! I have a sweet young gal named Timia and this card was included her her package. She has a Etsy shop you can see here, exodus treasures. I sure hope she likes all her goodies in her package. I had a blast creating this card, I added lots of ink splatter and some washi tape. The adorable round sentiment is from the concord & 9th set called lots of blots. Be sure to stop by the sunday stamps teams blogs and check out what they have created! Add a little glimmer to your life.....sparkle & shine, kindness!

I am back to share another card I created with the new release set written in the stars from concord & 9th. I sooo luv every set Angie releases, so creative and innovative! I have used a sweet sentiment from the map love set, sweet, set! I sponged the tag using different blue inks from tim holtz distress ink line and then stamped the stars...so fun! I stamped the buildings and then cut them different shapes to make it look like a small city, colored in a few lights and then added stickles. The gorgeous striped paper is also from concord & 9th, it is called modern paper route and it is on SALE..WOW, what a fabulous price! A fun card to create.

I am so very exited to be sharing another card from the amazing concord & 9th tree hugs set, so FAB!
