I was made up today when I saw that I had been given an honourable mention over at the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge blog (check out the winning card on this post).

After searching through my stash however I came across one piece of lime green paper. No pressure involved then – just one… Read More The Card Concept #5

I am on a roll now, 2 more cards to add to the mix. This card was inspired by a video for Hero Arts, created by Shari Carrol.
