All three cards are beautiful, Christine. I especially love the first one with the white embossed leaves. Such gorgeous colours and LOVE those leaves! Craft gravel is something new to me, so interested to get a demo from you soon! xx

Wow, these are all just amazing. I especially love the first one. Your work always makes me want to try those things, but I'm not ready for all the things I would have to buy to get started. I think my next endeavor will be using pencils more.

WOW! You are going to have me scrambling in neighbor's driveways looking for gravel. These are all amazing but I'm exceptionally fond of that first one with the gravel. Love the use of those silhouettes too. How I'd hate missing your posts- always learning something new. Sure would like to come and mess around with you!

I googled on gravel..because I thought maybe gravel is an art product too?? .... who uses gravel in their art?! You... I think I know what you did with it.

Fabulous backgrounds. The gravel and salt give amazing texture. Never heard or seen craft gravel before... then again you seem to introduce me to new products all the time.
