Good Afternoon!

The Card Concept, How Does Your Garden Grow?
I just went with the overall Garden Theme again.
I used the Gina K Designs stamp and die sets, Anemone Wishes.
I used the dies to Hot Foil on my Glimmer Machine.
Now these dies are not technically used for hot foiling, but you still can.
I added a shim to my hot foil sandwich, which created more pressure and a bit of over
foiling--however I loved the look and did not remove it.
Here's a closer look at the over foiling.
Super sparkly!
Silver Holographic Speckle.
Latice Embossing Folder.
PTI Lattice die used for Hot Foiling.
Spellbinders Yana's Special Sentiments Hot Foil plate and die.
Amalgam Black ink.
Copic Markers.
Foam Dots.
Pink Fresh Studio Glacier Jewels.
Dimension! YAY!
I made this card for a fellow crafter,
Vangie Collins who resides here in Chatham.
She makes the most beautiful glass beads.
For the past few months she has been showing her support
for the Ukraine and making these gorgeous beads.
Vangie has been selling the jewelry she has made and ALL proceeds
have gone to the World Central Kitchen.
I believe she has donated close to $10,000. at this point!
AMAZING!!!
I actually donated the 4 cards I made in support of the Ukraine
and she raffled them off earning $75.00......can you believe that???
She is one amazing, generous kind person.
These are the people we must surround ourselves with!
Thanks so much for coming by!
Enjoy~~
Such a beautiful card! Loving all the shimmer and sparkle! And those beads are amazing! How nice that Vangie was able to raise so much money for Ukraine! I am sure it is so appreciated!
