Freshly Made Sketches #620

I have a few of my Spellbinders' Betterpress of the Month plates that had never been used - Jacquie's Sketch #620 at Freshly Made Sketches gave me the perfect time for one of them... here's the closeup so you can see the deep 'letterpress' look of the pressing...


I think the debossed look of my yellow panel [Lil' Inkers] gives a dreamy atmosphere- don't you?  The sentiment is one of a few in the Sun & The Moon set.
Those itty-bitty stars are from a very old MFT Blueprints 18 set of dies.


It is a 'balmy' 39 F today - our snow is melting but all that moisture is causing a thick low hanging fog.  A very good day to stay in my studio!

    Wonderful card and a great look at the letterpress result. You get excellent use from that Lil Inkers plate! Love that. I hope your fog lifts soon. I heard we might have spring like temps next week. Shhhhhh....maybe then they'll head your way!

    The background looks like swirling clouds! This would make a fantastic non-traditional valentine!
