TLC256 Life is a Journey

Photo Details

Poster: hobbydujour

I decided to try another "brick" card today. Like a complicated recipe, sometimes things are easier the second time around. This is true of this technique for me. This card went much smoother. This will be a birthday card for a dearest friend.

Edit: My "wonky" camera has brightened up the teal. IRL it is MUCH more subdued. I need a better camera!! : (

I like how you wrapped the thread and tied a butterfly to your card.
