    As a subscriber to your blog, I am always amazed at the vivid color and detail you put into each creation. It is hard to pick a favorite, but the whale card is right at the top of my list for its colors & the serenity it reflects.

    I will say the Purple Onion May card is my favorite but I love all your cards and especially love the alchohol ink work you have been doing. I keep trying to get the gold in my designs but can’t quite get it to look good yet. Thank you so much for all the inspiration!
