hi!

I finally inked up my Hand in Hand stamp set from the Greetery (I bought it when it first came out last year and then just kind of stalled out with ideas for it!) and i love it so much! I really struggle with cards for my husband, (honestly, i usually just buy him a star wars card at the store which is ridiculous with as many cards as i make) and this one will be so good to give to him for his birthday or our next anniversary. I showed it to him while i was making it and then told him he had to forget it until i gave it to him 😏

I used the Hibiscus Stencil with some Ranger Texture Paste and Copic markers for my background and the cute Aloha Newton stamp set for my image.

Wish us luck this week! Both of my girls have outdoor socially distant dance recitals so we're super hopeful for good weather.

I'm happy the girls get to do their dance and also happy that i don't have to sit through an entire recital ☺
