A Featured Publication peek...

Hi there! Hope you are all having a great week! I'm super duper excited to share one of six cards that I currently have published in the awesome Simply Cards & papercraft Magazine Issue 100!!! I probably sound like a broken record but seriously, having something published for a crafty girl like me, is like winning the papercrafting lottery!!! Ha! If it were the "real" lottery, I could quit my "real" job and create a lot more but until then, I'll just keep pluggin' along, doing my thing :) Oh and I don't even play the lottery so guess I'll be a nurse for a few more years! :) LOL (One of my cards is shown in the upper left corner).
The featured suite of cards are all about the Intaglio technique. If that sparks your interest and/or curiosity, be sure to check out the Simply Cards & papercraft Magazine Issue 100 ;), you're sure to find MANY inspirational projects!
This card in particular, features the gorgeous butterfly amongst other pretty images from the Waltzingmouse Nordic Spring set.
Thanks so much for looking! Be Sweet ;)post signature

    Ooh, I'm off out to get myself a copy today! I'm very intrigued by the intaglio technique, the butterfly looks beautiful, and I love the stamped background and scallop edging.
