who we are all sad to see closing

I must say that WOW is not a fav of mine but I did have a bit of fun making this card as I usually have a coloured image & doing this sort of card made me think outside of the box


I had forgotten about a lot of my dies & embossing folders so it was a nice chance to get all these out again & have a play.
