Stamp-a-faire Tie dye

Well here it is, my final card /post for the evening.  I really enjoyed all the tutorials, lots of great ideas to try in the future. But there are only so many hours in the day one can stamp..... sadly for this girl it's not 24. sigh! I used water with perfect pearls mixed in to give my card a little shimmer, I like the result. I'm off to bed now ,as I have a busy day at work tomorrow.. nite all and happy stamping. Sam

Stamp-a-Faire Homemade Embellishments

I'm back with this card showcasing the homemade embellishment felt bow as shown by Melissa,  I noticed I selected alot of Melissa's ideas....hmm .
