My card features the lady and a sentiment from one of the upcoming releases, Jive Turkey. I fell in love with this lovely lady as soon as I laid eyes on her! No doubt, she’ll be seeing a lot of ink.

History was a favourite subject of mine in school and I immediately thought of Laura Secord, a Canadian heroine in the War of 1812. Her name is now associated with the very famous chocolatier and ice cream company that was named after her. For my card, I wanted to re-create that act of heroism she is known for so I created a background scene with the birch trees from Autumn Groves. If I changed the sentiment, this would make a great Christmas card, too, don’t you think? 🙂
