Just for You

I am totally luvin' this new chalkboard paper. At first, I wondered why it would be better than good ole' basic black with the chalkboard technique, but BOY is it better! The texture is amazing. Hey, it's kinda like a chalkboard...

This stamp set caught my eye instantly. Another chalkboard-inspired design. I just can't get enough of it! The paper {Confetti Celebration} is beyond fabulous and screams party, so I had to play around smash em' together.

Thinking of Spring

Today I am dreaming of Spring. The beautiful sun has been shining all day. A rare treat for February in the Walla Walla Valley. This card just screams spring to me. I can't wait for the warm weather and all the beautiful flowers to bloom.

To create these flowers, I used a Blender Pen to achieve a "watercolor" effect. I highlighted the detail with a Strawberry Slush marker. The edges of the flower were curled using a Bone Folder. The layers were put together with Dimensionals.
