Woohoo!! Can I just tell you how excited I was to be asked to be a guest designer on The Paper Players blog this month! This talented group of girls invited me to join them. Big thanks to Lesley, Ann, Jaydee, LeeAnne and Nance.
Thanks for stopping by "Mahalo",
So, the first inspiration challenge of this month is a theme challenge ... Spring has Sprung.
I made this card for a very nice Hawaiian family who deserve a Surf's Up! I wanted to create something bold, bright, fun and happy. I brayered the sky, sponged around the outside of the card and masked in the sunrise.
It's time for a Spring Break!
