Ornate Style Sneek Peek

One of the advantages of being a demonstrator for Stampin' Up! is that you get new products before they come on the market to customers...Ornate Garden is one of those suites that I could purchase early.  I cannot draw worth a hoot but I can color and paint.  Stamping allows me to color and create with paper and stamps some beautiful cards.   I have been a demonstrator for 23 years this month and I have loved every minute of it.  When I had a full time job with a major bank in Virginia, sometimes I would come home exhausted.  After dinner I would slip into my stamp studio and make a card.  WOW, all the stress and tiredness went away.  That was really nice and I had a great card to send to a friend.

This is a sneek peek at the new Ornate Garden suite.  I used the following to make the card:
