In this card I was able to use many tools which I have not used until now. Thank you to everyone who answered my "how-to" questions! I powder embossed, used my glaze pens, a heat gun and a Blending Pen! I am so excited about the result.
I am open to sugestions on how to improve. Please be kind!
He IS Able,
Traci S.

Hi Traci - I love it that you have joined us this week and L-O-V-E your card!! You have created a very 'free style' look, it looks as though you have painted it - gorgeous. Your colours look like a meadow of flowers - I could just go and pick them! This is a fabulous card, especially with all the 'first time' techniques! Thanks for playing along with the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week Traci, we value your support and would love to see you again next week! God bless you! (((hugs)))

Traci, this beautiful card arrived yesterday (I didn't check the mail til after church today). To say I am overwhelmed, is not even close. It means so much to me that you would send me such a beauty, and your words within touched my heart. Thank you for your prayers, and also for sharing your heart. Here is your pretty card in my gallery. Thank you so much! Big fat hugs to you!
