Hi there!
I'm back with another card I made for Heartfelt Creations. This is my second project I created for my submission to their Design Team, a center-step card. I love the rich vibrant colors of these Weekend Market Papers. It was fun coordinating the project around them!
I've got lots of pictures. Here's the front straight on...
