Friday Sketcher Challenge #69 + Tutorial, YNS updates

Hello and happy weekend, yeah!
My niece Vivian and I are just having so much fun in the craftroom. Now that I finished a card and I have so many pictures to post. Guess what, I even did a little tutorial for this post, so please scroll down to the bottom for this little tutorial.

This card I made for the Friday Sketcher Challenge #69. The stamp set I used is called "Shopper Fhiona" (11 pieces stamp set) from Your Next Stamp and now that they are having a 'SECRET SALES' that is offering free shipping for any buyer anywhere. Just remember to enter code SS1 when you checkout.



Here is a closer view on Fhiona. I have posted a little tutorial on how to do her shopping bag. Please scroll down for that.

I think the sentiment & this wallet from this stamp set are a pricelss combo.

These images are also included in the Shopper Fhiona stamp set.

Here is a closer view to show the dimension of this card.
