For many years, I played regularly in a pinochle group and my daughter's MIL plays in a Bridge Club. I'm giving her a couple dozen greeting cards because she's one of the people I know who faithfully still sends real cards as opposed to email or text greetings. I'll make sure this card is in the collection I give to her. I know she'll love it.
This is my first card using new goodies from the Holiday season! I did the coloring on this House Mouse stamp with my newest set of polychromos pencils, then cut it with a rectangle die from QuicKutz. The "Hello" sentiment was done with a Poppy Stamps die (also new as a Christmas gift but for DIL, not me.) I matted the image with another simple die cut (also QuicKutz.)
I used a pink CS background, wrapped with black, grosgrain, ribbon (another new goodie) and cut the sentiment from black CS. Simple design but easily mailed.
