Then i stamped my sentiment with neon ink. My card is ready for today...just loving the colors ,happy to see the outcome. This card i have made for my daughters best friend, a 6 year old sweet girl,whose birthday is in next two days. My daughter wanted to gift a handmade card along so i told her lets make one!!!
