I have to tell you that I am really loving being on the
Happy Little Stamper's CAS team and learning a few new techniques that I would have never tried without being on this team. I am not really that adventurous. This month's challenge is to make a card with the look of Mother of Pearl. I headed to Joann's Fabrics and picked up a bottle of white pearl acrylic paint from Martha Stewart and had a blast making my sweet little panel. I usually like to use pinks and oranges from distress inks but this time I decided to use colors I never use, purple and blue.
I hope you will find the time to play along with us this month, can't wait to see your incredible creations! Thank you so much for taking the time....enjoy your week!

Pretty colors and there's something so beautiful and 'dreamy' about this background. I've been making cards for 4 years now and I still got so much to learn and to try for the first time. Will never get tired of this hobby....
