Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity Blog!
purpose: This posting features my newest contribution as manager/DT member of My Time To Craft challenge blog. We have a worldwide design team and one of the members is from Australia. Since the Southern Hemisphere has opposite seasons to the Northern Hemisphere, she's now coming out of winter season into spring. It was her turn to suggest the theme and it's spring season for #543.
when: #543 starts September 20, 2024 and lasts 13 days only.
what: I've Got That Feeling of Spring in my Heart!

A wonderful card. I love the contrast between that purple and yellow cardstock and the pastel tones of the butterflies. And the sentiment is great. Hugs, María.

Wink-wink. It's not embossed. Maybe between my tiny dots and the ink pouncing/dabbing of stenciled color is creating a look of embossing texture.....thanks for visiting!
