oh gurls...I am really shaking trying to remember how to upload, link and thinking of what I want to say about our newest featured stamper...I couldn't miss honoring Lynn. Thank you Julie for leading the way!
Lynn definitely has a gallery the size of Texas...I have many of her cards in my favorites...but for this first card in a long time I decided to go back to the [/color=salmon] beginning of Lynn's gallery and very loosely created a card as a tribute. I loved the movement she created with only one image and gees...for a first challenge that card has 27 favs and well over 1800 looks! I also like how Lynn takes such simple images and embellishments and layers them for maximum impact. For my card, I decided to use words that express my feeling and for movement, the swimsuit model. It's really not a good case, but dang it Lynn...I am so happy and excited for you...I had to push back the cobwebs of my studio and just flat out go for it!
Enjoy your moment...and keep creating beauty.
{heART} you.
