The other day while I was looking through my stamp sets, I came across Pocket Silhouettes and realized that it been ages since I used that set. So when this week's Freshly
Made Sketch came around I decided to use it for my card.
I dug into my stash and used some Kiwi Kiss cardstock and a bit of DSP from Walk in the Park. First I had stamped the image in Kiwi Kiss and thought the overall colors were a little blah so I stamped over that with some Baja Breeze. Then I added the fabulous Basic Gray corduroy buttons. I stamped a "thank you" sentiment from Thank You Kindly but now that I've had some time to think about it I wish I had used a birthday sentiment instead because these colors and Lesley's fabulous sketch are perfect for a man-card and I don't have nearly enough of those!
