Lyndal's and Julia's Hightlight: #11 Lula

Lyndal says, "Lula's fabulous white on white mixed media card features amazing depth and texture, all contained within this gorgeous house shaped card!"

Julia says, "I love the layers, the brick paste stenciling and beautiful layers of snowflakes - and the shape of her card!"

Loll's Highlight: #24 Ann Chuang

Jan says, "Donna's card showcases the use of her homemade stamps, a wonderful gelliplate print and fabulous use of color."
