Back From Convention

I am back from Convention and ready to stamp! We took SLC by storm once again! What a fantastic time I had with my fellow demonstrators and team members. I saw so many fantastic ideas and creative projects that I can't wait to get busy making them! We got up early stamped all day and stayed up late! It was a fantastic time. This was my third convention and I wouldn't have missed it for the world!

Here is a card I created to swap with my fellow 2008 Rising Stars. These ladies always inspire me with their creativity. I will be sharing some of their cards over the next few days. This card uses all black embellishments. The bling is so much fun--the glitter comes from the Fine Cosmo collection. I love the way the brads and glitter work with the New In Colors and the bold brights on this card. The bottom layer is made using the Texturz plates. I learned a new technique at Convention that you will want to try. Spritz the paper with water before running through the Big Shot. This gives the paper even more detail when using the Texturz Plates!!.
