I love the way this card turned out! (I guess we can say that about our cards, can't we???). Doesn't this look like the perfect Mother's Day card? I saw the technique on Patty Bennett's blog and I knew right away I had to try it! I stamped the rose image on Shimmery White card stock using White Craft Ink. I then added clear embossing powder and embossed with the… Read More »
I love morning glories but they have such a short growing season and I don't get to enjoy them as long as I would like to. I love the way they bloom in the morning and then once the sun hits them, they close up. Today's card is called Morning Soft.

I position the layer right below the top scallop so that I would have a hinge on top (makes sense???). I then punched out two circles using the… Read More »
