Kristina Werner - August 2015 Mail Call

Hello all,

Just thought I'd share with you a card I am going to send to Kristina Werner's Mail Call.  Each month she sets a theme and invites viewers to send in their creations.  She then showcases them on her YouTube channel.  I think this is such a lovely idea, and I have never been brave enough to send something to one of my card making idols before.  Eeep.

Anyway, this month's theme is 'cards with stripes' and this is my creation:

I apologise now for the dark photographs - it is such a dull and miserable day here in the UK.  I cannot believe it is mid-August!

There is a full supply list below, but I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with the gold WOW embossing powder I used to create my sentiment and embellishments.  It is so sparkly and beautiful!  I blended Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick and Ripe Persimmon Distress Inks through a ColorBox Stripes stencil.  I love these colours together, they make me think of tropical sunsets (I think I'm just wishing for sunshine, haha).

Love Hannah x
