I actually like all the cards you created! Thanks again for sharing and Happy New Year’s
Your October card is my favorite
You are so talented! July was my favorite, just gorgeous!
I’m always mesmerized by your alcohol ink projects, they’re captivating! I love the rainbow honeycomb card because it’s a burst of colorful happiness!
Beautiful cards! Happy new year!
Your cards are so good. I’m hoping in a few years (maybe 10) that I can do some that are similar. haha. My favorite card is the September flower one. Happy New Year!
Happy New year. I love your card designs. But I especially love to see how are you do Ink blending, two of my favorites of yours this year was the one from lawn fawn with the cheers and the lights and also the one When pink fresh studios came out with their inks and you had the pink and black card with hello those were amazing!
These are wonderful, the ones with flowers and a saying are my favorite
I love seeing all of your cards but I really love the “cheers” card that you made on the Lawn Fawn blog with the beautiful alcohol ink bulbs that are covered with glossy accents. They look so real and vivid!
all of them
OMG… Your cards are so cute and beautiful!!
Happy New Year. My favorite is the flowerycard from September.
The depth of colour in your cards is what draws me to them. I’m always a sucker for a rainbow however, so the rainbow hexies card is a fave! Thanks for the giveaway and Happy New Year!
Your alcohol/resin art looks incredile. And love all your cards – from fun and whimsical to beautiful and elegant!
So many gorgeous cards Jess and I love following your creative journey! The resin art and alcohol inks are gorgeous. June was my favorite card although it is hard to pick since they are all so beautiful!
Jessica, I really love your Purple Onion circus card! But who am I kidding. Everything you create is amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Happy New Year!! You always make amazing cards and color so beautifully. Too hard to pick one favorite for sure! lol But I do love your June card; so pretty! Good luck in your alcohol ink projects!!
Happy New Year, Jessica! These cards are all fabulous but I think one of my faves has to be the Halloween card you made with the exclusive Stamptember Tim Holtz set. It is absolute perfection. Also, I used a card you made in July with the Hero Arts/Gina K. collaboration floral set as inspiration for a card I needed for a wedding. Love your work and look forward to more of your alcohol ink videos!!
I like all of your cards but my favourite is the Hello on the bright honeycomb background. Simple and colourful.
These cards are all amazing! Too hard to choose a favorite. I’d happy dance to see any of them in my mailbox! Thanks for taking part in this wonderful hop! Happy New Year!
Your September card is gorgeous
Your cards all look fantastic. I especially liked the one you did for Waffle Flower using the Merry Wreath set. Watched that video a lot of times and learned new tips.
Happy New year! your cards are works of art!
All of your cards are terrific, but the one that really touched me was the March superhero card. I have rescued/been rescued by more than one dog in my day.
super love your style, love all your picks for the year!
Happy New Year Jess!
