Welcome to the very first informal Blog Hop for the International Ambassadors. 

 We got together and chatted (online of course) and decided to have a Blog Hop - just for fun and we hope to inspire you along the way. It is a great way for you to get to know who we are and to see what we can do....

The International Ambassadors are a group of  'seasoned' and well known Designers from different parts of the Globe, each bringing their own unique styles to inspire you - what a blessing to be chosen to be part of this amazing Team.  I hope you will join us in this International smorgasbord for the eyes. If you came here from Christina's Blog - you are in the right place.

We have chosen to use Dies from the Victorian Range - these Dies are divine and it is so much fun to create with them, as you will see as you stop by each Designers Blog:

Here are a few photos of my card using the  Victorian Medallion Three  - you will be surprised just how easy it is to create this card - the Dies do all of the work.
