Lisa,
Where does one begin to describe the magnificent beauty
of your card. I adore your shabby chic style and soft color palette.
You are the master of building layers to perfection.
The wood stencil is amazing so creative to
use it with the texture paste.
Great contrast to the softness of the flowers
and ribbon.

Winner & hello




still can't tear myself away from
from MFT stamps

Saw
do a card on youtube
called shadow stamping
you start with a piece of card stock with a matching
or similar ink color.
First you stamp with white pigment ink
next you over stamp with the colored ink
and off set slightly this leaves a wonderful
shadow effect.
I changed my card slightly by using
the hello cut out of white glitter paper.
A few sequins and white dots
love the way this came out
thanks Stephanie!
