You Are A Wonderful Friend

 Good Afternoon!

This card will be entered into the following Challenges:

Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes.

Allsorts, I Spy Something That Begins With B, blossoms.

The Sisterhood Of Crafters, April Showers Bring May Flowers.

Can You Handle The Pressure?, Pastels, optional.

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.

For more information about Vangie, visit her website HERE.

These are the people we must surround ourselves with!

Thanks so much for coming by!

Enjoy~~
