Happy Easter!!

Hi everyone! I wanted to pop in real quick and wish all of you a wonderful Easter! I also would like to share another card reject from the latest Call Submission with Paper Crafts magazine.  I think I liked this card the most!

I did one of my favorite techniques - the emboss resist!  I used the SSS March Card kit stamp set and heat embossed it in white, and then took Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge, and Seedless Preserves Distress Ink and inked up my stamped panel.  For the "Hello" sentiment, I die cut the letters from these dies from Lawn Fawn.  I embossed my card base from a Lifestyle crafts embossing folder, and adhered my stamped panel to my card base - and then added some ribbon I had in my stash that matched perfectly!!

Thanks for stopping in today!  Have a wonderful Sunday!

Changes in following my blog + Card Share Reject

The weekend is here and I couldn't be more thrilled about it.  Even though I have a slight headache this morning, I am just glad that I am lounging here in my favorite chair and sharing some crafty news than at work!

First up - for those of you that follow my blog through Google Reader - from what I am reading and "hearing" - it will not exist much longer - so I ask you that if you'd like to continue to follow my blog - to please click on the "Follow my blog with Bloglovin" button on my sidebar and you will be set up to continue to see my posts here on KWCardDesign.  I value all of my followers/readers!  I hope you will consider adding my blog to your reading roster!  

Two- I recently submitted some cards into the latest Paper Crafts Magazine Submission.  This is my first time submitting -so I was even proud of myself for even trying.  My 3 cards didn't get picked up for the fall issue, but that is quite alright.  I will continue to try until I see my card and name in print!!  What an exciting day that will be!!!  So first up is 1 of the 3 that I will share with you.  Continue to come back to my blog to see the others as I share them!!

This card was part of the color combinations.  There were 7 or 8 color combinations that you could choose from.  I choose the first color combination. Creme, teal, bright purple, rusty, and a golden yellow.  This card is a bit different from my style but I wanted to challenge myself.  I think it turned out nice - and I will just add it to my stash of cards to give out to friends/family.  I'd like to hear your thoughts on the card!! Even some critic if you like to give it!!  I really want to be published one day- It is one of the more desired goals to achieve as a paper crafter!
