Four down

...one final left to go!
Popping in to share a simple little card for the Simon Says Stamp challenge (make your own background) and CASual Fridays (out on a limb)...


Sweet little buttons and a perfect sentiment from PTI finish off the card...


The stamp was a dollar stamp from Joann's, and I inked it up first with Versamark, then Distress Inks. I wanted the image to be sticky for the embossing powder, and while Distress Inks are a bit sticky, the effect will be even better if you ink first with Versamark.

Anyways, gotta take a nap, and then study for that last final! Any prayers would be appreciated! ;)
