Hello everyone! Wow it's been almost two weeks since my last posting. Sorry for being MIA but it's a very busy time for me at the moment here at home and I'm also working on my magazine projects for the new Whimsy Inspirational Magazine :) But I found a card I made last year and haven't shared with you yet. It was published in Whimsy's Inspirational Magazine issue 9 . It's a clean and simple one layer card. I colored the Whimsy digital image 'Crabby Cranston' with Copics and used 120lbs cardstock from Gina K. Here's a closer look on the image  Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend all!
