One Gift Card Holder, Two Looks

in the past month, i've missed baby showers for two work friends due to illness... i still wanted to give them a little something and was inspired by this gift card holder by Jennifer... for the most part, i'm very pleased with how the cards turned out... kind of questioning my colour choices on the watercolouring, but i figured i'm the only one who would have been really bothered by it...

I think your watercolouring turned out great. :0) I'm sure once you are back into the swing of things again it will get to meet your point of approval again. :p You almost have me convinced I need to get the sock monkey stamp set. Not that I need more stamp sets. :p
