Such awesome card here Cindy, I absolutely love it, and I agree, you are such a clever bunny to create these, thanks so much for that.
ReplyDeletePost "long" videos anytime-- the time flew by. Love your new design. I'm curious how one becomes a designer of these things. Its so inspiring-it makes me want to give it a go. Love the use of distress inks- just entered that chapter for my own creating and loving it- so excited to learn new ways to incorporate the stamp effects.
