For your chance to win BLOG CANDY, visit and comment on each of the design team members' blogs on February 10th, 11th, and 12th. Tomorrow (February 13th) a winner will be chosen from those who have visited all 9 blogs all three days. You still have time to go back and comment on the first two days’ cards.The winner will be announced on the Mark's Finest Papers Blog and will receive 2 Stamp Sets that will be released NEXT month. And remember, Friday night will be the New Flourishes Release at Mark's Finest Papers!
My card today features the Serenity Collection set: Thoughts of Joy. The images are oriental in nature, and I thought this DP from Basic Grey’s Blush Paper Pad had some oriental feel to it. The card base and middle round layer are Mark’s Finest Papers’ Pink Freeze Sparkle. It’s hard to see, but IRL there is a wonderful shimmer to it. The bamboo image is stamped with Palette Burnt Umber, embossed with clear embossing powder, and colored with Copic markers. I added a bow and an oriental coin charm to finish it off.Be sure to visit the rest of the Design Team blogs and comment on each for your chance to win.
