Best Wishes (As Seen in Paper Crafts Magazine)

Today I am sharing the card that was published in the March/April issue of Paper Crafts Magazine. It's funny, The Hubbums had picked this one as his favorite of all the cards I submitted for that call even though I wasn't so sure since it was a bit different for me. I guess it worked out in the end! YAY!

Best Wishes Cameo Card


I just LOVE that peacock feather and the metal frame makes me happy, too. I have a couple more of those, I should totally use them. Just sayin'.

The doily is actually a portion cut from a larger crocheted piece that I found in an antique shop. It was damaged, so I felt NO guilt cutting it up! LOL! The sentiment is from the Heartfelt Sentiments set by Unity.

Don't you just love how peacock feathers look like eyes? Big, gorgeous, Hollywood, eyes! I love it!!! They are just bold and beautiful! Speaking of bold and beautiful...I have a confession. This morning Vogue came on right as I pulled in. I totally sat in the parking lot just to listen to the rest of the song. Just sayin'. And I'm eating Jelly Beans for breakfast, but at least I had a Chobani first! It's FRIDAY!!! Make it a GREAT one, K? K. Thanks. Bye now.

There are so many great things about this card. It was published. Good for you. I knew I had seen it before. I subscribe to Paper Crafts. It has a cameo, which I love and it also sports a real doilly. Thansk for the inspiration.

I love all of the greens and blues in peacock feathers. Your card reminds me of the fancy-shmancy hats ladies used to wear!
