World Card Making Day!

Hi ya Friends,
Happy World Card-Making Day! In honor of today, I thought I'd join in the festivities by sharing a birthday card I made for a friend.
Here it is:
 This beautifully detailed stamp is called "Juliet in the field of Nasturtiums" by Sarah Kay. I absolute love Sarah Kay images- they are full of the tiniest, sweetest details. :) happy sigh...  She is colored with Copics. The papers are from the Victoria Gardens Collection by Echo Park.

Here's a closer peek at Juliet:
The middles of the flowers have a sprinkling of Stickles and I added some Flower Soft for the grass. Then I let my Viva Pearl pen do it's crazy thing, a la Sankari ;)

I used this week's Tuesday Morning sketch for my card:

Today also marks my 500th post! Wowzers! That doesn't even seem real! Well, I'll be spending my day in my craft room & hope you're inspired to do some crafting too.

Thanks so much for peeking today.
Gotta Go!

    Oh darn, my birthday is still months away! LOL! Karli, you've colored this so well, it is beautiful. Love the bow and pearl accents. I don't know how you make the Viva pearls look so neat, mine are a big mess! Any tips? So glad you are finding time to get crafty again, you've been missed!
    Hugs~Kathy
