Today, I'm deliriously honoured and excited to share some news with you! I've been selected to become part of the
Yes! Me! I'm so delighted to have the opportunity to work and play alongside some amazing designers, who were introduced in the post here. Inspiration to the max, indeed! Hopefully, you'll find a wee bit of the same in my creations over the next while. I'll do my best!
Today, we begin a new challenge: Holidays. I opted for the 'special day of celebration' definition of holiday, and have created, for you, a Valentine's Day card. The background - "water-colour" stripes - is stamped with Memento Inks in pink and grey. The background of the heart is a 'scripty font, stamped in grey as well, with a vellum embossed, then die cut .overlay. The scalloped heart - easy peasy pink cardstock.
Head on over (or back, depending on where you started) to Addicted to Stamps and More, to see what several other DT members have created. You'll be incredibly impressed! Once you've scoped things out, dash immediately to your crafting zone, create away, and share with us. You may win this prize:
