It's Been a While-Thinking of You-Brother and SIL

Well, here's another card that went out to my Lil' Big Bro and my SIL (his wifey). I call him that because he's 4 years younger than me but WAYYY taller than I am! He literally towers over me and can rest his arm on my shoulder! LOL

I love the sentiment I used on this card, it's so funny!

A couple years ago I created a card similar to this one. I liked the layout of it so I replicated the same colors but an opposite layout and a different inside.

For the card base I used SU! Real Red cardstock, the top layer is SU! Going Gray and the yellow cardstock is Michael's brand. For the little flags I used SU! Real Red, SU! Daffodil Delight and Ranger Archival Jet Black. The sentiment is stamped in SU! Real Red.
The flags are stamped from the CTMH "It's Your Day-Constant Campaign" (CC1020) set, the phone booth (stamped in Ranger Archival Jet Black for a clean BOLD crisp image) is from SU! "Feeling Sentimental" (a Sale-A-Bration set) and the sentiment is a Studio G clear stamp from the VS4911 Series 61--Sentiment series. The sentiment was stamped on white cardstock and punched out with an extra large punch (don't know the name) and then I inked the edges in SU! Daffodil Delight to give it some dimension.
The flags and phone booth layers I used Tim Holtz staples and mini brads to keep the flags and layers together, so I just used some 3D glue dots on the back of the flag cluster and double sided tape on the phone booth layer and 3D foam dots on the sentiment layer.

For the inside I used the arrow stamped in SU! Daffodil Delight from the CTMH "It's Your Day-Constant Campaign" (CC1020) set and I honestly don't remember what set the Thinking of you sentiment  is from because it's just in my bowl of loose stamps. I want to say it's a SU! stamp, but I'm not sure. It is stamped in SU! Real Red, all of this on top of white cardstock that is edged with Ranger Archival Jet Black ink for dimension.

Well, I hope that my brother and my SIL like this card. It's not too often I send them anything, but with sending our 2 nephews the valentine's cards we made them, I figured my brother and SIL would enjoy getting something as well! It always warms my heart to know that they keep ALL of the stuff I make and send them. :)

Thanks for stopping by, and come back again soon because I still have a few more crafty creations to share with y'all!

Keep on Craftin'
