Today I tried for something different....no card stock. Remember when cards were folded paper, not simply card stock folded in half? I used a 12x12 piece of scrapbook paper, folding it in half, printing the image (careful to position correctly) and then folding in half again. This adorable image is named Serenity, and definitely depicts my idea of a perfect afternoon. I've only worked with Prisma pencils this time, as the paper is too thin for markers and would surely bleed. I'm really pleased with the result, and think I've found a new use for some of those papers I have stashed away. (lol)
From here, you'll hop along to see what awesome creation Jak is sharing with you today, and just in case you gotten lost along the way.....here is the blog hop order.
Hope you enjoyed the hop and here's wishing you a fun and crafty day!
Now, for some challenges for my card:
| Dream Valley - For a Special Lady |
| Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes |
| Aud Sentiments - Anything |
| 2 Sisters Challenge - Anything Goes |
| The Squirrel and the Fox - One for the Girls |
