Hello!

I've had some exciting news that I've been sitting on for awhile now.
I've been asked to join the DT at The Card Concept
I was so surprised and honored by the invite. 
I thought about it for all of 2 seconds and sent off a reply email saying YES!
I am so thrilled to be working alongside the talented 
group of ladies on this team.




There are so many ways to be inspired by the photo below. The colors, the
flowers, the stripes, the books, the dots,  the travel mug, the words... so 
many ways. 
I went with the flower, gold 'dots' and the word hello.





Check out the rest of the DT's cards here.
The styles are defined here.


Happy Stampin'
and thanks so much for visiting!

Susan - just following up to your comment about Distress Crayons - try coating your paper with a layer of gesso first. It helps the crayons blend and smooth into each other. :)
