I'm screaming from Hawaii...can you hear me!?
I could not believe it when I received
the most amazing e-mail
from thee Holly Anderson of Paper Crafts and Scrapbooking
magazine!
I've been chosen as an honorable mention for the 10th annual Stamping Royalty
amongst some INCREDIBLE paper crafters.
Me?!?
So my card will be published in the July edition of Paper Crafts and Scrapbooking and I'm hoping it'll get your attention enough to vote!
I would sure appreciate it!
I want to thank all the lovely people that visit my blog and the amazing comments you all leave me!
It is because of you all that I had the courage to take the chance and submit.
The card below is to show my sincerest gratitude...
Hero Arts Bubble Confetti stencil, Simon Says Stamps Thanks Word Die,
Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn, Squeezed Lemonade and Peacock Feathers
white embossing powder, black cardstock and Wink of Stella clear glitter pen
This was a fun one to do! I used the stencil and a sponge dauber inked with Versamark to create the panel and cover in white embossing powder then heat set.
I took the different distress inks and created the emboss resist distress background.
Then I placed the panel onto the card base along with the stencil to match the pattern. Taking the same distress ink colors to match the area, sponge daubered inside the stencil to create the surrounding card panel.
Fun and easy!
