Francine, as always, you blow me away! Your style of cardmaking – CAS with incredible contrast-coloration – is so unique, I always know when I'm looking at one of your projects. You've been such an inspiration for me, especially when it comes to being brave and using darker color on my images. I am not quite there yet to master that technique, but you keep showing off projects that encourage me to try again. Thank you for participating in my hop, and thank you for making this wonderful card! Just wanna hug that little guy! <3
