Hi everyone! Happy Friday! :) We're getting ready to head down to VA for the day, so I apologize in advance for the super short post. :)
This card was created for the most recent Embellish Magazine challenge. The challenge? To create a birthday card using Raspberry Fizz, Enchanted Evening, New Leaf, and Dark Chocolate (or similar). At first I wasn't sure what I was going to do, but once I got started, it all just sort of fell together. LOL
Have a great weekend! :)

ReplyDeleteOh my! Heather, will you ever know how you made my day with your comment on my blog! :D
ReplyDeleteI noticed that you commented on my blog several times before, which always made me happy, but receiving a word of encouragement from you is a whole different story - heck, I'm surprised!
Thank you for giving me neverending inspiration. I'd attempt to CASE some of your stunning work at times, but well - I've still got a lot to learn! lol
I can also blame you for falling in hopeless love with PTI stamps! Hopeless it is though, as I live in Australia, and unfortunately shipping costs for these beauties triple their prize at best... *sigh*
Take care,
Iwona
Wow - this is beautiful!!!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteIt's another stunner Heather!
