    So happy you came to celebrate with us here, Carly! I totally love that green mousse, and since I JUST got my new blending tools, I am going to give this technique a try! We don’t use this clean green color enough in our crafting! You also chose two of my fave Altenew sets in the Adore You and Garden Picks! Beautiful card, excellent process video. Now I want a gold embosser! LOL…..
