For another project using the same Beautiful You images I used the shaving foam background more as a mat and embellishment rather than a total back ground.

This is a group of very supportive and social women with similar interests.

Today’s card I made quite some time ago but thought I’d share it with you as it is a good example (in my opinion) of the floating watercolour technique. Plus it just happens to be a pretty card suitable for many occasions. In this instance, I have heat embossed the rose from the Rose Wonder… Read More »
