It's all about the presents

All That Scraps posted a sketch challenge last Wednesday. I have this set for awhile now and thought it would be perfect to join in the fun using their own stamp set for the challenge. This set reminds me of my sister. It's so hard to hide presents from her growing up and she's always been excited opening presents, even now that we're grown ups... It's still fun to watch her open her presents. It's just easier now to hide presents because we don't live together...LOL!

Here's my card for the challenge. Again, I was inspired with the patterned paper used for the color combination. This is the one I snagged from my LSS that's closing for only .10 cents. Really! I'm kicking myself for not getting more of these (I stopped by Saturday but the store was closed and they're usually closed on Sundays). So today after work I'll make sure to stop by again and grab more.

The main image and the sentiment is from C.C. Designs It's My Birthday, stamped on whisper white cardstock with jet black staz-on ink, water-colored using prismacolor watercolor pencils, and matted with old olive cardstock. The right panel was created to be one of the presents. I should have the sentiment hanging as a gift tag but didn't think about it until after I adhered it and didn’t want to ruin it.
