Happy 200th Birthday Mr. Lincoln!

Have you heard about the card request for Abraham Linocoln's 200th birthday? I'll post the blurb at the bottom of this post. I went for it and came up with this card... I have to say, it's truly fabulous.. too bad there aren't any other 200 year old Mr. Lincolns. I stamped all the front images and heat embossed, then layered various parts and raised a couple. The inside sentiment is a Lincoln quote. With all the layers and embellishments, sewing, etc., this card is really heavy.

The sentiment inside is computer printed and the stamps on the front are from Amazing Arts . Excellent, top notch service! Check them out for either ready made or custom stamps.

So this is the card I'm sending to Mr. Lincoln!

Here is the notice:
