TGIF...

Michelle Zindorf does amazing things with ink and a brayer. This one caught my eye because I just picked up this set during Sale-a-bration.... Still without a brayer (too cheap to buy one) I wanted to see if I could re-create her card with sponges. I think it turned out pretty good. :-)

Tuesday ....

I love the background for this card. You will likely see it again with a different front panel. I love how the circles, once run through the embossing folder, seem to be embedded in the Whisper white CS. Additionally, I LOVE this color combination....White, Marina Mist, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil.....bright and fresh!
