An envelope with the Art Nation stamp is always a promise of something mind blowing, and I think this is one of Karen's very best. A simple cardboard offcut turned into the most beautiful piece of art. Well, I don't think it happened just like…

I received this beautiful complex piece from Angie.  It's a real gift.  Took a lot of work...and love.  Thank you Angie!
