Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!
why: The purpose for this posting is to showcase my DT member inspiration project for Pin-spirational Challenge #335 with the theme/color combo of green and gold. I had the perfect watercolor swirl print cardstock and have chosen to use it as the base and minimize the layers and embellishments to show as much of the printed CS.
