This card was so much to make. I saw the paper at Hobby Lobby a couple of weeks ago and bought some not knowing how I was going to use it but I had to have it (KWIM?). I took it out this morning and thought that a silhouette would be perfect for it. If I had the SU stamp set Silhouettes (retired), I would have used it but alias I… Read More »
Today's card is for kwernerdesignblog challenge which is to use the colors Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, White and So Saffron. The technique I used to color the image is called rock n roll.

Isn't this heart charm pretty? It was originally a label pin and is made by 1928 jewelery. Before I go into the card, I thought I would share a story with you. In the early 90's, I bought a long wool coat and it was in the color Eggplant. The style then was to wear label pins on your coat and the coat was from The Limited. Anyhoo, I lived in… Read More »
