Make your own happiness!


Love this sentiment from Hero Arts.  Paired it with a stamp I picked up recently in Crafty Alley in Killarney.  It's a 2005 Hero Arts stamp that I inked up with distress inks, spritzed with water and had fun with!  I then coloured the pearls with copics to match the textured cardstock.

    Hi Deirdre! Such a gorgeous card--love that sentiment, too! Don't you just love those old wildflowers set? Thank you for starting the discussion on Flickr after the horrific earthquake/tsunami. We are all fine and I hope you are, too! Hugs!
