A CARD WITH WONDERFUL NEWS




...courage faces fear & thereby masters it...
-Martin Luther King Jr-


...hello everyone...today i'm sharing with you some wonderful news & also a card that helped along the way...

...a wee while back Craftwork Cards put out a DT call and one of their conditions was to make something for them that hadn't been posted or published before and to use their products...this is the card I made...


...the background, the dressform, the spool, skirt & button choker are all Craftwork Card papers...


...my idea for the skirt to to get the 'ra-ra' look of layering so I used Tim's Tiny Tag Die, her belt is natural jute with a couple of the Tags as tassels...


...the same paper was wrapped around the spool & I thought the sentiment may bring me luck...


... and the button from the dressform die was used as a snazzy choker & pulled her completed look together...


...well, after weeks of self doubt I sent this card off with my info and I'm thrilled to tell you they liked it & saw something in my work  that enabled them to choose me to be part of their Design Team...


...I'm delighted & cannot wait to share lots of new designs with you...

...thank you for dropping by today...
