The "To: From:" stamp was a gift from my friend, Amy. Thanks, Amy!!! I also used the watercolor technique she taught me.

Flowers with Glass Tiles TLC229


This card is for Splitcoaststampers Technique Lovers Challenge (TLC229). First thing I thought of when I saw this technique was a glass tile backsplash, which I just love! So...here's my interpretation. Everything is heat embossed with clear embossing powder, and although it doesn't show in the picture, the tiles do shine like glass. You can see it in the vases and flowers. tfl
