Congratulations

Happy Monday! It's back it's back! Paper Crafts' Gallery Idol, that is. And this year internationals are allowed again! Yay! I have to try out, it was through the Gallery Idol 2009 contest that I heard about Paper Crafts for the first time and started submitting to the magazine. And now? I am addicted! So here is a first card for the open auditions:


I stamped and heat-embossed the Hero Arts Large Blossom Cling using white embossing powder. Then I used distress inks spritzed with water and perfect pearls to color the image softly. It has a pretty, subtle shine irl:




Oh, and the card fits this month's Hero Arts Challenge, too! So, off to make more cards :)

Thank you so much for visiting and have a beautiful day! I hope yours is sunny! We had rainstorms combined with hail today. I didn't have the guts to go into the garden and look at my patches yet. Let's hope the best!

Hugs,
Vanessa
