Happiness is...


It snowed over a foot of snow today. Too bad that I had to go to work, I would have liked to stay home and make cards all day! I did create this card for 3 challenges.

365 Cards-Day 352 Gloria's sketch
Play Date Cafe # 16-lavender, red and silver
Just Us Girls #20-Technique Challenge

I have tried this negative technique before and I love the look of it. I stamped and embossed this stamp by American Art Stamps. I cut them in half and combined them. The saying is Queen Kat Designs that I embossed in silver. I ran the lavender panel through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot Folder. I added the specialty paper and the bow. These colors are hard to combine! Thanks for stopping by!
