Dancing Tilda

I can't believe it is Wednesday already. I received my blog candy from Julie yesterday. It is awesome!!! My husband doesn't get the blog candy. He said you always need something yet you give it away...LOL!!! So a great big THANK YOU to Julie for her generosity. I can't wait to play.

Here is another teacher card I made with a nice summery background. I love the barbed wire background. You can't see it in this photo but she has patent leather shoes. I used liquid glass to make them nice and shinny. Dancing Tilda is such a great stamp!

Here is a close up:
