Flourished Sea Horse

Sorry that I haven't posted in a few days, but I was in a fender bender on my way home Tuesday evening and haven't been feeling real well. Somehow it hurt my lower back, and I've been pretty uncomfortable for the past few days. However, today is much much better! YEAH!

I made this card a couple of weeks ago for a sketch challenge over on SCS. I love these colors together.

Speedy the Cat says Happy Birthday

I don't make a lot of square cards for some reason, but decided to do something different today. This card was made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over on SCS. I like the clean & simple lines of this card. It went together very quickly.

The stamp set is an older set from Mark's Finest Papers called "Our Family Tree". It's the first time I've used this set, but it won't be the last!

Stamps: Our Family Tree

Paper: Corn Husk, Premium Paper Craft Pack from MFP "Fall Festival"

Ink: early espresso, really rust

Misc: brads, top note die, sm & scallop oval punches

I hope eveyone is having a wonderful weekend. Happy Sunday!
