CARDS August Issue

It's been a month since the CARDS magazine August issue was published and I can show my card now. Yay! This card was submitted for the sketch category and I inked up my Hero Arts Etched Flower for the first time when I made this card. The flower and leaves were coloured with distress markers using Tumbled Glass, Shabby Shutters and Picket Fence.

As it has been a month since my card was published in CARDS July issue and the August issue is now out, I'm allowed to show my card online. I still don't have a copy of the magazine, but can see an online version of it. This card was submitted to the wedding category for the submission call. I love the photo they have taken for the magazine page! At the time, I had just received my PTI 'Lovely Layers' stampset and dies and I combined it with my favourite papers from Pink Paislee. Sadly, I don't have much of the papers left as I made quite a few cards out of the 6x6 pack! I also have another card in the current August issue of CARDS in the Sketch category, I will share details next month.
Did anyone notice that I got another mention on the Paper Smooches Sparks blog for this card submitted for the Picture Perfect challenge? I'm having so much fun with my new PS stamps! Thanks for dropping by!

Published in Cards May Issue

I'm finally able to blog my card that was published last month in Northridge Publications CARDS magazine. You can find my card on page 34 of the magazine. The category for this card submission was under 'Style Challenge'- Chevrons, Yellow, Turqoise and Coral.

I don't have the actual magazine yet, but managed to download the online version so that I can see my card (this is my first publication in Cards magazine, Yay!). I have another card in the July issue of Cards on pg 30. I won't be able to share it until August.
An update on my Kaisercraft DT submission. I found out that I was not successful in Round 2 but was elated to find out that I was in the Top 20 to get into Round 2 in the first place! Nevermind, I had fun making the projects which I can't share yet until the collections are released. Stay tuned!
Big Hugs to Lin for sending me a scan of the magazine!
