Congratulations Karen!! I was thrilled to see you as today's FS. I love your cards, your blog & the encouraging comments you leave for me & others.
I was all set to upload this CASE of your very first upload, when DH got on the computer & my BFF called to go out to lunch - yummm, never pass that up!! Anyway, this is your card I CASE'd
I kept the oval design, some hardware & the 3 flower punch. I tried your Black Magic w/ Pop from your blog tutorial, but put it on Chocolate Chip. I flipped to vertical, changed colors & stamp set, added pearls to my flowers instead of brads & kept off the dots & dashes doodling. This technique was fun, I need some more practice, but I'm very pleased w/ my results. It's all SU except for my pencils & the pearls!
I hope you like my card today. Again, congrats. You so deserve this honor.
Thanks for stopping to take a look.
PS - I hate naming cards too!
