E.A.D. Designs Rub-Ons!! Feature on their blog - ME!!!

I am still so excited to be a part of their creative team. I know I am a broken record in regards to praising their rub-ons. Believe me, once you try them, you will love them just as much. Here I used one of the cute little owl rub-ons. I am using some adorable papers from Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker for the card as well. Her brown houndstooth paper made the most perfect feathers for my little owl. Anyway, I am featured on their blog. You can see more of my work using their rub-ons there. Hope you like my little card.
