Trying Something New!
Welcome back to the blog everyone! It’s Shari here to share a special card with you all that fits perfectly into the “Try Something New” portion of the monthly challenge for January.
I received this card last week from a dear friend of mine, Sandi Neumann. Sandi is such a sweetheart, she kits my personal classes for me and is a great support in my life. Sandi knows me and my style so well and she created this beautiful card inspired by me. Sandi intentionally used my key colors and style. She tried something NEW! I am honored to share her beautiful creation with you today.
I LOVE how the Tulips are colored with 2 tones of markers!
Instructions and materials can be found HERE.
If you’re wondering about my loss, our family had to make the decision of putting down our beloved 14 yr old German Shepherd, Mercedes.
I hope Sandi’s card encourages you to try something new by using colors and styles used by one of your favorite designers.
Enjoy!
