It's time for a new Sunshine Mail Foundation Challenge (April 15 - May 1). Our theme is "In My Garden" and the only real rule is that you send in at least one card (Donation guidelines here).
I'd also like to invite you to join our April Card Drive; Just enter either of our April challenges and send in at least one signed card (just write a nice little message inside and sign it with your first name) to be entered to win a bunch of awesome prizes! All the info is here.
Our sponsor for this challenge is Oak Pond Creations (OPC), and they are having a Birthday Bash on the OPC Challenge Blog throughout the month of April.
I used Snail by Oak Pond Creations and digital papers from Mel Stampz to make this:
The buttons are just white plastic, but I heat-embossed them with green embossing powder. I strung them onto some baker's twine to resemble tomatoes growing. The sentiment stamp is heat-embossed as well. I put Glossy Accents on the eyes to make them "pop" even more!
