Ha ha, my mom's name is Ann and she's very crafty, so whenever I visit the Crafty Ann's site I think of her! I also think of this particular Crafty Ann, of course, whose work I've enjoyed for some time. I've participated in a few of her challenges, but I'm finally entering one with one of her lovely images.I grabbed this lantern digi for my card for the CDAC challenge sponsored by Crafty Ann's, and since it's a freebie I saved it for a challenge like this. I had so much luck heat-embossing it on vellum last time that I did it again, with my new sparkly purple embossing powder. LOVE that stuff! I did the same with the lantern stamp.
And the back:

Oh wow Christina! This is lovely and how lovely to think that I remind you of your Mom! You've made my day. :o)
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful, I love your sparkly embossing powder. Even though you picked up the digi as a freebie, please feel free to use it as often as you want to hun, and thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity with us at Crafty Ann's again.
