This card is for today's Featured Stamper CAKath - OMGoodness what a gallery!! This card is also for Friday's Free 4 All Challenge.
Kathy - I'm thrilled to be CASING one of your masterpieces!! I'd have made more but only had time for one. I really enjoyed browsing your gallery - what a fun place to hang out this afternoon!!!
Changes were with colors, one panel vs. three, sentiment and buttons. The sentiment is bowed but it's hard to see in the photo. Two of the buttons are vintage.
This card is for my Uncle's birthday - it's the first birthday since the loss of his wife of nearly 50 years - so it's not a traditional birthday message, rather a note letting him know we're thinking about him and love him on his birthday.
Thanks everyone for looking!!

Oh my gosh- this is a beauty. I hope your dear uncle feels all the love you poured into this one. Your color choices are so vivid, warm and textured. The large buttons and bowed sentiment add even more special elements. I am so honored by this lovely card and hope that your uncle feels so special when he receives it.
