Clear Scraps~for Sis!!!

Hi guys!!!

Had a great weekend, except for me falling in a public place on tile floor in front of some really special people ~ so glad they were there:):)

*** Blessing***

I used an acrylic sheet  by Clear Scraps and cut it in half, to make the card.  I stenciled the front with the Diamond stencil by Clear Scraps.  The paint is by Ranger.

The flower is one of the many new Mixers, designed to used as an embellishment and a stencil.

Very clever:):):)

Like two products in one~

Don't tell my Sis, this is her birthday card:):)
