OCL & May Arts Team Up!




I am so happy to announce that this week Our Craft Lounge and May Arts are teaming up to show you some amazing products from both companies!   I've peeked at the projects by the OCL designers and "WOW"  is the word that comes to mind!  I know the projects by the May Arts designers will be equally impressive. 

My project for today uses a pretty set called Nature's Notes.  The set has been around for a long time, but it's actually the first time I've used it ~ and it won't be the last!  I stamped the background with Vanilla pigment ink and I heat embossed the butterfly and colored it with Copic Markers and then added some blue and green Pearl Ex.   I really love how this card turned out!  The May Arts products I used ~ blue crochet trim (361-58-34) and this cool natural jute (QW09).  


You'll want to check out the OCL Blog & May Arts Blog because both blogs will have samples and a list of designers who have projects to share as well.   Don’t forget to leave some love everywhere each and every day because there will be lots of blog candy flying around this week!
