A Wanderful Card

Makes Some Happy Mail

Embossing with the new Honeycomb folder gives some fun

texture to this card. The Artiste butterfly on page 58 in the 

Artiste booklet gives the card a feel of freedom. A little

artistic note: use your black journaling pen to outline any

white shape for accent and definition.

And as you know how crazy I am for the Happy Mail

stamp set, I made a coordinating envelope to mail this

card in. It doesn't happen to often these days, but

someone will get some happy snail mail soon.
