Good afternoon all.
Thank goodness today is a bit warmer than yesterday! I had to go down home for a funeral and boy was it draughty in the church yard....sadly I have another to go to next Monday too.
Today I'm celebrating though...I've had my first card published in a magazine!! I applied several weeks ago to be on the reader design team at Quick Cards Made Easy and was accepted for issue 141 which has gone on sale today....I've just got back from Asda with my copy so only just found out.
This is what I made with the gorgeous bonus papers we were given to work with.
I printed onto pearlised paper and used the dotty paper as a base, then used the large Ringlets die from Memory Box and the inlaid die technique to piece a pattern with the floral papers. The stitched scallop border and sentiment dies are from Lawn Fawn.
To say I'm chuffed is an understatement!!!
Congrats Carol, gorgeous card too. Can't wait for it to arrive here in Aussie.xx{aNNie My Personal Blog}

Oh Carol! How EXCITING!!!!! No wonder they wanted to publish this card - it's SOOOOO cool! I've never tried the inlaid die technique, but I've always drooled over it. So happy for you! :)

Congrats on this impressive achievement. Being published is a BIG thing!!! Well deserved for you as well, cause your cards are always just great. This one is no exception. Those rings must have been a bit tedious to inlay as you've done on this one. Really like the dp & especially the sweet bird in the center circle. Great use of your winnings. TFS & Hugs
