Heart Song Inspirations 7

This week at Heart Song Inspirations, our challenge is color on kraft or lace.  I've never colored on kraft before, and I thought I would try it out!  I love the way it looks! 

Also, there's a new image at the Heart Song Designs shop.  Isn't it adorable?

This week at Heart Song Inspirations, our challenge is no patterned paper or paper piercing.  I was so excited to use Leah's adorable peacock image!
I didn't use any patterned paper.  Instead, I used a Stampin Up small background stamp from the Clearly for You set.

ALSO, there's a DT CALL at Heart Song Inspirations, so please be sure to check it out if you're interested!
