    I loved the cracked glass and the kraft paper used. I liked how you geared the stamps using the pinks for girls. It shows how you can use the stamps for both genders. Very pretty! Thank you also for giving detailed instructions. I think that is so very helpful and not too many people do that. Thank you for sharing! Gorgeous

    Terrific cards Giovana - I love the look of that DP with stars paired with the guitar image (which you cut out so meticulously BTW) and the cracked glass technique looks AWESOME with the image from Nina's set!
