Hello! I gave my blog a facelift -- did you see my new banner? It's "me", definitely! :) Our friend Ray made it for me. Thank you, Ray!!! He and his wife Katie are incredibly talented -- Ray is an amazing artist, and Katie does beautiful floral designs. You can see some of her work HERE (her site and blog are also on my sidebar).
Here is a card for today's Color Challenge (Basic Black, River Rock, and Whisper White). The layout is Beate's Weekend Sketch #36. It's a pretty simple design, perfect for a wedding or anniversary. The paper is from SU!'s Apple Cider, and I embossed the white panel with my Cuttlebug and Spots & Dots embossing folder. I paper pieced the cake with the paper, and I watercolored the pedestal with an Aquapainter and River Rock ink. I HAD to add some red Stickles to the heart atop the cake!
That's about it! I have a project I need to finish by Friday, so I guess I need to get to work on it! With any luck, I'll be able to share it with you tomorrow, but it depends on how many interruptions I get in the next 24 hours! Thanks so much for visiting my blog -- have a fantastic day! :)
