254- Stitched Exotics Celebrate Card

This is a twist on a previous card that I've done. I love the look of the vellum over the images- it really softens it even though you can still tell that the colours underneath are bright and vibrant. I can't believe how long it has taken me to discover Summer Sun- love it!

I am really going to miss this stamp set- it is so great to make backgrounds with. Make sure to get yours before it retires at the end of the month- just click here to go to online ordering.

208- Ribbon Framed Thank You

I was excited to try this technique challenge (TLC212)- I love the effect of the ribbon frame. I think I would try it again with a smaller image but I am still happy with the effect.
