Talk about last minute

This is my entry for the Kenny K's Krafty Girlz DT Call, ohh I so want to be on this design team I love the images they are so different and perfect for those teenage cards. I've spent hours drying my card stock with a heat gun so the ink wouldn't bleed, (as I watercolour my images with distress inks) and wasted lots of printed images, aww but it's worth it, I've had a really busy week with work and was panicking I wouldn't get my entry in on time. You can purchase Kenny's images here I've used my forever friends papers, flowers are prima and the ribbon is from my stash thanks for looking hugs Jill xx
