My daughter is home from University this week and I have been really busy with her, so not a lot of time for crafting. This is a card I made for the recent spring card exchange organised by Cheiron over at the Hero Arts Flickr group. This is the card I made for Sandra in Canada, she emailed me today to say that it had arrived so I can now show you. I used that lovely poppy image from Hero Arts which I coloured with my copic markers. The background has been stamped and embossed with the Italian Poetry Background and then distressed. I then cut it out with my Wonky Rectangle die and added some pearls.
Last month I was approached by the editor of Papercraft Inspirations and asked if they could feature one of my cards in their July issue, of course I was thrilled and immediately sent of a photograph and waited patiently for the issue to reach the shops. Imagine my surprise when I noticed that the card featured next to mine belongs to one of my blogging friends Virginia. Here is a scanned image, not brilliant I am afraid but my card is bottom left.
Hope you are having a good week.
