When I got this image for the Facebook Progressive challenge at Limited Runs, I laughed out loud! Let me show you the card first, then I'll give you the story about laughing over it.
I've become friends with a lady who lives on the same street and we have a running joke about "Crazy Cat Lady" and "Crazy Dog Lady." Just to keep things in perspective, I am (currently) owned by 2 cats and she owns 3 dogs - all small ones, I admit, but come on -- how did I become a crazy cat lady with fewer cats than she has dogs?
In addition to that, one of her dogs is named "Cactus Blossom" ! Whaaat?? When I asked her why, she said, "Well, I don't really know. But she answers to it."
So, I've done this card which I will take to her tomorrow to show her what an actual cactus blossom is! Trust me when I tell you it looks nothing like her dog. :-D
The image was printed onto a scrap of white CS, then colored mostly with ProMarkers but a khaki green Copic snuck in there somehow. I cut the image with a die from Spellbinders. The background is made from three pieces of scrap dp, one of which is pieced together to look like one piece. The pale orange dp is embossed and glittered. I made the bow just for this card and used the scrap end of some pink ribbon, barely having enough to tie one of my standard hand-sewn bows.
