Julia gave us the challenge to use letters. I'm not a big chipboard fan due to the weight and bulk they add to cards that might be mailed....don't own a Cricket or other marvelous cutting machine.....SO I used a SU stamp I've always been fond of. I cut the letter panels apart after coloring them, edged them with gold paint and then applied them vertically. The bg was done by inking my CB EF before running it through to emboss....a technique from awhile back.
On a wistful note: Julia announced next week will be her last WT challenge. 300 must be some kind of track record on SCS. She will be missed!! Many laurels and kudos to her for a job WELL DONE!!! A BIG thank you from me!
