Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Swan Song Blog Hop

Hi, its so much fun to be part of this blog hop to thank all those wonderful people at Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking magazine for their hard work and inspiration throughout the year! 
Thanks Ladies - you did an amazingly fabulous job! You never cease to inspire me. Thank you so much!

I am taking part in this through the STAMPlorations blog. Life got too busy to add myself in separately....

For both cards I used the sets Rosebuds and Bold Sentiments: Hello from STAMPlorations. 

I added a black strip on the side on the card above and treated it with glossy accents. Added the black splatters. I am in love with splatters......they make any card look good. If I am not happy with what I created I either add splatters, sequins or glitter and voila - there is usually dramatic improvement!
