Jeanne updated our badge so it might be easier to know what the current challenge is.
Love it and thanks Jeanne.
The DT was asked to emboss with a die . I love doing this anyway .
I use Serendipity Stamps beautiful Bird Die and the Peace Small stamp for this card. I used the tale of the bird for my banner at the edge. I also used LID for the stitched edge… Its almost a staple for me. I also used my new rulers from Perfect Paper Crafting to get a very fine frame around my embossed white paper.
I hope you find some time to play along.
Thank you for all your kind words , thoughts and prayers for Olga and our family.
I decided to make this card for another challenge as well:Merry Monday Not my normal color scheme but a fun one.
Free Shipping on all US orders of $10 or more. This is a great chance to snap up the stamps from the Wood Mounted Stamp sale and to throw in some grab bags. Good through 3/26.
