Easel Card
Today I thought I would share with you a card that I made for my sheltering tree class the other month. I have used the sunburst from Kinda Electic to add a sun in the corner of the card, to get the effect of the grass I have stamped off several times in Old Olive. I love how this turned out.

Painted Petals Designer Series Paper
When I first saw this pack of papers I was in awe, it was the first thin that went in my shopping basket. When I received it and opened it I kept stroking the papers, like you do but eventually I gave in and started to play with it.
