Sooooo cute. I love the little gift greeting and the inside is such a nice detail too!! Great card.
That's a really great sketch and I love what you've done with it...especially the inside stamping! Love doing that myself. :)
Here are two links to Gamsol tutorials. The first is right from SCS: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ee/index.php/resources/tutorials/gamsol_magic/
Here's another one that I did on my blog where you can use baby oil instead of gamsol: http://thepaperlandscaper.blogspot.com/2008/03/baby-oil-tutorial.html
I personally like gamsol a little better, but either way will work. Oh, and I bought my gamsol at Inky Antics (it's completely odorless). :)
Have fun!
