This is my second post of the day and, in my first post, I promised you wonderful news if you stopped by again. So here it is: I've rejoined the DT at SheepSki Designs!! And, yes, I'm excited to say Andrea took pity on me and said "Yes" when I begged to return. :-D Thanks, Andrea.
Our challenges are always "Anything Goes" but we also offer an optional theme with each challenge, which you can use or not, your choice. I followed the theme this month "For Someone Special." I'm sending this to a friend who needs some emotional support and encouragement, and that in itself makes her very special.
I used this beautiful image, "Becca." How fun that I have a granddaughter who goes by Becca. :-D
My first card today was very CAS so with this card, I went to the other extreme.
The image was colored with ProMarkers, the cut with a die from Spellbinders. The darker pink frame was also cut with another die from that same set. The lighter pink CS was embossed and pinpoint punched around the frame.
I added lace to the bottom of the light pink CS, then I added the image piece. I printed and hand cut the sentiment, matting it with a scrap of the same light pink CS.
I covered the card front with embossed, metallic paper and then added the framed and matted image on top of that. Looking for embellishment on this already 'fancy' design, I dug through my box of flower and leaf dies, found a flower die from Spellbinders and a leaf die from Cheery Lynn. I used those cut the flowers and leaves. I added pink glitter to the top layer of flower petals and put a tiny dot of yellow Nuvo Crystal Drops in the center of each flower.
I apologize for the photo quality but the metallic paper, which is so gorgeous IRL, made it very hard to photograph so this is the best I could do, even with photo editing.
