Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge #1

Finally, I can share the news...
I am part of the Design Team of this amazing new challenge blog called
They featured me on December 21st, but I didn't want to post the news until now.
Our First challenge is up and the theme is
New Toys or New Techniques
Our Amazing sponsors are:



I used an image from a Day For Daisies for my inspiration piece


I used a new technique for the background, kind of a letter press technique but with an embossing folder.  Add ink to one side of the embossing folder, carefully place the cardstock and run in the embossing machine. Loved it and will do it again. 
I would like to enter this project in the following challenges:
Thanks!
Love,
Julia
