    Thinking of you

    Hello friends!! Happy Sunday to all of you! Hope you are having a great day. Today I am sharing with you a "Clean and Simple" card I made for Great Impressions Stamps Challenge, this month's challenge is "Anything goes"

    This is the card I created, using sweet Lizzy image, I colored only her apron and dress with Copic Markers.
    I used a bubble talk die and stamped the sentiment from "Sweet Sentiment".
    The background was created with a hand cut cloud and sponged it around several times with light blue ink.
    The grass die is from SNSS, I used a leftover piece of PP from another project to die-cut the grass.
