My mother-in-law came over last night looking for a birthday card for her twin and telling me all about their shopping adventures of the day. I didn't really have a good card for her, so she asked if I could make her a shopping card. Of course!
So I found this Bugaboo digi to use as one of the three objects on the sketch. Then I stamped the boxes from Happy Moments and the bag from Tote-ally Tess. I tried to color the bags and packages like bags from stores that they like to shop at (Kohl's and JCPenney). Do you see that Target box that I accidentally made? Hehe.
For the background I created the sign shapes in Microsoft Word and then filled them in with text boxes. Sadly, I ended up cutting out my favorite word, "Clearance", as part of the sketch.
Aunt Cindy is going to just love this card. Thanks for a great sketch!
