Happy Birthday Sis!

Here is a close-up of the image. I hope you can see all the sparkle on the flowers from the Stickles I used on them.Well it is a sunny Saturday and we were suppose to see some of the signs of Hurricane Earl here in MA but luckily all we got here in the NE part of the state was some much needed rain. Working for the school system we get both yesterday and Monday off for the long holiday weekend so it gives me some time to finish up some cards and still enjoy the weekend.

Today is my sister Peggy's BDay. This is the card I made for her. I always try to do or use something that she hasn't seen on my other cards because she also makes cards and is use to how I make my cards. I made the design on the white shimmer paper with my new Scor Buddy and used the Pearl Pen that we both bought last weekend on a stamping roadtrip with Pia and Kristen our other stamping friends. I don't think she has tried this yet. I bought this beautiful stamp from Our Daily Bread early in June at the Stamping Convention but decided to wait to use it until I made her card. I just finished the card yesterday just in time to give it to her today!
