Since I had a few thank you cards to send, here is one I made:
This is a new (to me) woodblock stamp from Hero Arts and it has been on my wish list for a long time. The sentiment is an old one from Penny Black. After masking the edges of the white panel, I used picked raspberry and salty ocean distress inks to create the background. Some diamond Stickles were added to the tips of the images.
I am entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp challenge, the A Blog Named Hero challenge and the CAS-ual Fridays challenge.
The good news is that I got a new laptop for Christmas. The bad news is I haven't yet mastered Windows 8 and all the differences there are from my OLD Windows program. It has taken me a long time to actually get this post ready to go! Which defeats the whole purpose of having a new computer!!! Grrr.
Have a great day!

Welcome home, Joy. I am a bit behind seeing your post. Lovely card. I too have a new laptop but stayed with Windows 7 ... did not want to try W8 just now. See you soon.
