Thinking of You Card

Created this Thinking of You card using a new Cottage Cutz Springtime Window die I selected from a prize win.

Used a sketch from Die Cuttin Divas for challenge that ended before I posted. 

 
Hubby & I were out enjoying dinner at Golden Corral that had free dinner buffet for Veterans.

Used a Yellow & Gray color scheme. Chose the sentiment that goes well with the window die cut. First time stamping without using ink and in this case I used Ranger Acrylic Paint Dabber Silver. Took me 3 tries to get a stamped sentiment that did not look smudged that I was happy with.
