Hello Fellow Crafters;

Wacky Wednesday is here again and hopefully the snow is finished for the week. February has started with a lot of snow.

Here at OCS, we have a new challenge this month which is Red, White and a Die. We are using the High Hopes January release and for my post today, I have used this cute image called My Best Friend. I used Ranger’s Dried Marigold and Mowed Lawn distress inks to add colour to the embossing folder. The sentiment was left off as I was unsure of what to use at the moment. It can be added later when I use the card.

Supplies used:

Stamp: My Best Friend (High Hopes Rubber Stamps)
Ink: Staz-On Jet Black, Dried Marigold and Mowed Lawn (Rangers Distress Inks)
