Today's spooktacular Owl card and Seasonal Tree card were both designed by Jennifer McGuire - I love the owl card!

Jennifer shared her thoughts on our luminarte "I love the many colors that Twinkling H2Os come in. They are so vibrant and yummy, so I adore using them for watercolored backgrounds. The shine is amazing, and you can stamp or heat emboss right over them. These shimmery backgrounds are a great way to make your handmade projects even more impressive."
