HSS Technique Challenge #61

Over the last few weeks we've had some pretty broad challenges here at Hand Stamped Sentiments. This week it's time to separate the "women from the girls," so to speak. So today we present you with a Technique Challenge: Shadow Box Cards. 

There are a few different ways to create these cards and if you scroll down below the Challenge picture we've included two links on how to make these. You'll be surprised just how easy, and more importantly fun they are to create.

Two quick congratulatory shout outs to two of our very own Design Team members. Rosemarie Diehl will be featured in next months issue of  Cards magazine! Make sure to check her out on page 147. Visit her blog for more info.

And sometime tomorrow Robbie Rubala will welcome a sweet new grandbaby! We know everything will go well and wish you and your daughter the best. And we want to see pictures, ASAP.

Congrats to these two remarkable women!
