List of Fours

This card was a case from Ivanka Lentle's card on page 51 from PaperCraft's Holiday Cards and More Volume 5. (This magazine also happens to have my first published card, hoorah!) My version features one of the sentiments from Practicing Creativity's Rejoice! stamp set, as well as some May Arts ribbon and Basic Grey Jovial paper (which I just noticed was adhered upside down!). It's not for any challenge, but does have a pretty interesting background... A gal at work wanted to see my card in print and came back with my magazine two days later with a list of cards she wanted to order!
