When the Outlawz sketch came out last Wednesday, I knew right away I wanted to use it on one of my projects. I just had to decide what and how. Then, as I was scrolling through my TLC collection, I found this delightfully funny sentiment and knew exactly how I wanted to put together a card. And you thought Prince Charming was a myth! lol
I started with the paper scraps which were on my crafting table, cutting and trimming them to the sizes I wanted, keeping the sketch in mind. While I took a couple of liberties, I stayed pretty close to the original this time. I inked the edges of each piece with a purple ProMarker, setting them off from the lavender and red violet colors.
I printed out the sentiment image and cut it with a Gina Marie die, then inked the edges of that piece. I began layering everything together and decided to put them onto an embossed piece of white CS. I had used my "Linen" embossing folder on several pieces of CS and one of them was still on the desk so I used it.
I dug out my Nuvo Crystal Drops and added three tiny dots of it to the bottom corner of the gingham check dp. That was it - almost CAS with all the open space, except for the patterns in the dp. Still, it's very flat and will mail easily.
