I Gotta Hand it to Her...

Tina Gillaland, whom I've met through blogging, is someone who really lifts me up. Through comments she leaves on my blog, but also through private messages on SCS and STV letting me know my posts and my stamps are helping her become a better stamper, that is priceless to me! She also sent me this card for my birthday, and I was so tickled by how she used these two sets, had to share this clever idea with all of you!

After cutting out the "A Charmed Life" wine glass and one of the hands from my "Hand in Hand" set, she lightly sketched in the fingers by looking at the original image to look like they were behind the glass and colored before adding Crystal Lacquer, and I think she did a fabulous job! Tina, I'm raising a glass to you as I type LOL, your design is just brilliant! I'm also really digging that pretty ribbon treatment too, going to have to borrow that! ;) Thanks for making my day, again!

I'll be back with more BRAKS I received, they were all so appreciated, thank you everyone who remembered me with your cards, emails and comments! I'd like to say too while I'm thinking about it, there are many of you faithfully leave wonderful feedback for me or have questions, but you don't have a return email or blogger profile with contact info so I can write you back, and I'd really like to! So if there is some way you can add that, I'd love it (and I'll be in touch!) :)

Have a terrific day!
