Nearly a ‘Craft Dash’…

Hey there I’m back today with a quick card. I’m so happy because I finally had a chance to use a Jessi original crocheted mat and I tell you they are the sweetest, you can buy them at her amazing BLOG and if you haven’t met her yet I suggest you pop on over she is truly wonderful!

Another Craft Dash card and I was a little too ambitious today, although in my defense I would have made it in the time frame except that my Versamarker decided to die right in the middle of colouring my stroller…  panic stations (lol) what will I do….  so I diluted my new tumbled glass distress marker and painted a light covering….. but by then I was too late, but I thought I would share anyway.    I would also like to share this card with the Simon Says Stamp challenge which is Transport.  Not your normal form of transport, but it does have wheels.
