Happy Birthday Sister

Wishing my dear sister in Thailand a very happy birthday today.  I hope you are able to do something special.  I made this card using wonderful inking techniques in a class from RubberNecker during the convention last October.

 Question of the day:  have you learned a new technique recently?  if so what?

    I learned brick stitch at the end of last year while making Christmas ornaments. Now I wonder if I could also use it on my cards...

  19. What a happy card! Perfect for Spring! I’ve been working on learning to folds “fancy fold” I guess, to give my cards a different look. I’m also trying to get better with coloring with blender pens.
