Celebrate so many things - Freshly Made Sketches #200

Sometimes it is great to have some cards on hand that can be used for many purposes. This card fits that bill perfectly. The term "celebrate" can be used for birthdays, engagements, graduation, work promotion, and I'm sure the list can go on and on.




While making this card I learnt a valuable lesson. The white craft ink on wood elements takes much longer to dry than I expect.






Luckily there was an easy fix. Simply cut another piece of black card stock and glue it on top.






Today's card was made for the Freshly Made Sketches #200 challenge. 200 sketches, can you believe that! Such a huge number.


 
 
Tip of the day: Heat tool on number 1, makes drying time faster.
