  239. Maggie B says:

    Hi Nina ~

    This is such a beautiful card Nina. I love colored pencils on kraft paper; there’s just something special about it. Popping up the colorful images and adding some Nuvo drops is the perfect way to finish off this lovely card. Your crafty friends are awesome and I’ve “met” most of them in online-land!! I have some crafty friends too and we love to get together once in awhile and craft away. Unfortunately crafting is our hobby, not our job, so we can’t do it as often as we’d like. I have a sister that loves card making too but I’m in Central NY and she’s in Boulder, CO so we can’t craft together very often. Lucky you to have a sister close by to craft with. Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful week. ~HUGS~
