A big congrats to Barb, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a lovely gallery and I chose This
card to case. I kept the oval & similar colors but I used a vertical layout & made a Melted Crayon background (a cousin of Encaustic Wax) for the WT485 challenge, instead of using designer paper.
This was the first time IÂ’ve tried the melted crayon background & I loved playing around with it. I made quite a fewÂ…it was hard to stop! Since I really like how this background turned out, I kept everything else simpleÂ…a greeting on a white frame & some die cuts. I donÂ’t think IÂ’ve had this much fun with crayons in a long time!
Congrats again, Barb! Thanks so much for looking! It's just been posted on my blog: The Write Stuff..please note, the server for my blog has been up & down all night, so it may or may not load right away.
