20 of these sweet babies in a row. and I am LOVING where they've been heading. so much goodness adding my paper lines to these little beauties. I need to dive into some HAZY DAYS next I think!
Here's #20
And here's the video, closeup shots & supply list.
Today's ICAD is a bit intense as far as dimension goes -- I'm not SUPER fond of it.. like it's ok to me, but done is better than perfect (Thanks Dina!) and still I'm excited to see how it's received. :)
Wanna know an easy way to make QUICK art? Have some bits n bobs laying around like preworked backgrounds! I love my Gelli Arts printing plates -- they get me in the zone when I need a little artsy push and then I have beauties to use like this background piece. I invite you you to watch the creation process of my card :)
^_^ HELLO! 2k friends... it's so cool to say out loud! haha.
