SU Trip Achievers Blog Hop - March 2024

Monday, 18 March 2024

Welcome to the Trip Achievers Blog Hop. I am so honoured to be participating in this Blog Hop and I am so thankful for the support I received from my Customers and Team Members so that I could achieve this trip again this year. Mexico here I come! Did you know that less than 1% of demonstrators world wide earn this trip! Thank you so much for the support!

I shared a similar card last month that I created using watercolour techniques. This card is more abstract and is created by spritzing the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper before stamping the images. I love how these images turn out.
