Today I tried to  do two cards but my body wouldn't allow me to. Sorry to disappoint with only one card. Do you ever have the day where the easiest card can take forever to do? That is what I had today My eyes didn't want to stay open. I tried this technique last month and I loved it so much I thought I would try it again for this months hop. One of my favorite animals at the Zoo is the Peacock. I absolutely love this stamp set.
