International Highlights Winners Blog Hop - October 2023

Monday 30 October 2023

I’m so excited to be featured in the the International Highlights Top Ten Winners Blog Hop hosted by Kylie Bertucci. I was selected to participate in this hop by finishing in the top 10 in the October 2023 International Highlights. Thank you to everyone who voted for my Translucent Floral Card.

My card today was created on a recent sketch challenge. I love the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper and decided it should be the star of the show. Join me on Tuesdays at 2pm Pacific each week for a new sketch.

Here's the sketch I used for this card.

Now for my card. I added an extra layer to my card with the Designer Series Paper. That layer is 3" x 4 1/4". Pretty in Blueberry Bushel.
