because nice matters...

ShortCuts week, Day 3.

Today's 365 Cards Challenge:


Today I used a clear ShortCuts card base. The design of the card was really inspired by this Nichole Heady post, Introducing In Bloom. This is my take on these cards. I used Stampin' Up Riding Hood Red dp & the Sweet Sentiments set {btw, oddest thing, I have 2 of those sets...how in the heck did that happen??}...my favorite chandie image by Impress and a PTI vintage button....super clean & crisp.

Remember to check back tomorrow...I'll be posting a project that "went out of control"...I might have to take Gloria's Rebel Crown away from her...one thing lead to another and oy vey, you'll just have to pop back tomorrow.
