Taking on a dare, six or so of us sixth graders grabbed our sleeping bags and planted ourselves on the grass in front of the subdivision sign. They thought that we couldn't, and wouldn't, spend the night on this not-so-safe corner, but we did. And we saw the most beautiful sunrise ever...because we all might have been a little bit afraid to fall asleep...
Come play along with the Limelight Sketch for a chance to win a Nutmeg 6x12 Read-Set-Chip Alpha set! Also, try to incorporate some fabulous ribbon. I created my card by first dying a few lengths of white satin ribbon with pigment ink and water, attaching them to a cardbase and then stamping a silhouette image. Super fun, and the color options are endless!
