YOU are AMAZING

Amazing Friend. 
This card came about because of a random act of kindness.
The other day my friends Kimberly and Toni were telling me about Hammermill Frog 80# cardstock for running through the printer for using with digis and Toni also uses it for coloring, as it costs about 75% less than Neenah Solar White 80# I currently use.  Toni offered to send me some to try...........I was expecting a small sample not an entire ream that came in the mail. How nice was that?! So thank you Toni, I am using it and so far, loving it. I have not tried coloring with my Copics on it other than the above blending.

So to thank Toni I made this card.
I am having a blast playing with one of my Christmas presents, this awesome stamp from Altenew called Sketchy Cities America 2 .  When I saw the SSSWChallenge ombre, I used the Graduated Background technique and colored three city scenes, cut them out and layered them for a mail friendly card.  Thank you Toni, you made not only my day but my entire week. Mwah.

This card is also for Simon Says Stamp

Oh, Lisa, I just love this image, and the ombre technique is fabulous! I'd love to know how that card stock works with Copic coloring. That's sure a lot cheaper than Neenah! So nice to have you stamping for joy and yourself! Hugs, sweet friend!
