KAREN BAKER

Karen uploaded this AMAZING card to our flickr gallery and I was SOOO impressed by how she made it! She used the Faith In You set and a fun Copic technique to create this beautifully encouraging card! She added interesting shading and color to the vase by coloring with Copics on the back of the paper! SO COOL!
