This is the last card I made for the Hero Arts February Contest. This time I used Sketch #1 and I went out of my usual style for it. I used four different dies and two background stamps as well as part of a sentiment from Essential Messages. I heat embossed and sponged the focal point using the resist emboss technique. I love how it turned out. Maybe I will use it more often. ;)
Thank you for stopping by! I may be a little quiet in between required posts to work on design team assignments and publication calls but I know I need to post RAKs that I've received since Christmas as well as recognize the fact that I've reached 500 followers. It might sound ridiculous to hear that it still makes me excited when those numbers go up but it does so stay tuned for a giveaway. :) Thank you for supporting me and for making me happy!
