Except Young Again...

 Hi and welcome!  Linda Callahan is our sketch hostess over at Freshly Made Sketches and, knowing her as I do, I think she'll get a laugh out of the sentiment on my card.


Now, before I start, yes my card is flipped and the reason is solely because I must have turned my die-cut panel upside down before working on the rest my card.  Doh!  

To make my card, I took a panel of freebie patterned paper and adhered it to a white card base.  I then took a word window die and die-cut three openings to (originally) match the sketch out of a panel of Coral Crush cardstock.  I then lined up the sentiment stamps with the openings and stamped them onto the patterned paper.


I wanted to add some drama so added slim strips of black to peek out from each opening.  I then spattered on some white ink and some gold ink before adhering the panels together.  In hindsight, I sort of wish I didn't do the spattering, but too late now. Finally I finished with some enamel dots and a heart.  I like the serious look of the sentiment and then there's the last line...
