I have some great news to share with you this morning ~ after I got myself together for the day, I popped open my computer and went to my emails .... and the first one was .....

I'm looking forward to seeing what you create and also looking forward to g

AHSC#404 and Another Valentine!

~ Have you seen the fabulous sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #404 ~  Now I followed this sketch very loosely ~ I hope I don't get cut out ~ I wanted to keep my card clean and simple, which is actually not the norm for me ~ I'm all about layers and more! It's actually hard to see the dimension on this card ~ the Basic White panel was run though my Cut/Emboss Machine using the Subtles EF and then I used Dimensionals on the panel once it was adhered to the Basic Black Panel and then onto my card base!  Those sweet hearts were die cut using the new Many Hearts (oh I lOVE it) ...I used Dimensionals on the sentiment as well.  And in real life, this card SPARKLES as I spritzed it using my Champagne Mist/RubbingAlchol mixture and this card is stunning!!!  Oh I wish you could see the Sparkle on this! thank you for popping by ~ I hope you enjoyed this little peek and that you have felt a bit of  inspiration to join in the fun! So with all this, I bid you adieu ~ Have a fa
