...a new card, and a giveaway!
This card is for the Simon Says Stamp Embossing challenge and the CAS-ual Fridays Back to School challenge (how appropriate is this theme for me!?)
I used a lot of paper scraps here, and did a wee bit of heat embossing on the sentiment for a rather dramatic effect.
And then some pearls covered with nail polish. Just cuz I'm cool like that. ;)
Now, that giveaway - I don't know if I mentioned, but Dyane (from Precious Remembrance) and I decided it would be best for me to take a break from designing for Precious Remembrance as school projects and volleyball will pretty much be consuming my life for the next nine months. However, depending on how much extra time I have once volleyball ends, I may do a couple guest designing stints!
The upside of this for you peeps is that Dyane has graciously given me a "Thanks" stamp set to giveaway! Woot woot!
But to make this more fun (and the fact that I feel kinda bad for being a lame blogger that doesn't return sweet comments), I'll be sticking a new Hero Arts c;ear stamp set in this little giveaway, as well as some other delectable crafting goodies! ;)
Just leave a comment, and you'll be entered!
Thanks for stopping in, and say a prayer that I can survive this semester (looks like it's gonna be a doozy!)
