Hi Stampers,
Today we will be making this beautiful card .
It's actually pretty simple, it always amazing me with making a background like this... It sure doesn't look pretty when sponging on the color but the finished card always makes me say WOW!
You will notice the 2 cards below look very similar but the one right I didn't use the White Gel pen # 105021 on that one, It's still pretty but the one on the left really pops with the white gel pen Don't you think so ?

Beautiful card. Didn't want another leaf set, but I may have to reconsider. BTW, tell me about the tabletop on your work space. I think I have seen it on other demos videos. Or maybe, I'm watching too many of your videos!!!LOL! Love your creations, truly a work of art!

Beautiful, nothing but beautiful. Thank you for sharing video with all of us.
Were you aware that the ad will not close even when the "x" is clicked? While it lightens, it's annoying not being able to see what you are demonstrating clearly.

Beautiful card, Dawn - thanks so much for sharing! It's hard to see, as the ad won't go away when I click the X... :(

Love this card. How do you always keep your white gel pen so wet and workable?
AND, I love your background that looks like old wood, what is it.

Nancy I store my gel pen laying flat on my desk
Hope this helps :)
