Every month I have the honor of contributing one project to the Project Tutorials group. This group collaborates to bring creativity and learning to all those interested in the joy of what we do – card making. In the month of August, I contributed a card made by challenging myself to make that is outside of my “normal” style. I used the Flowering Blooms stamp set AND the Flowering die set. The card turned out beyond what I could have imagined. It just created itself. So elegant and soft. The card and the tutorial instructions on how to make it are shown below. If you are inspired by this card, I would love to see your creations.
