For my challenges card today, I decided to make a long, skinny card -- one that fits in a #10 envelope. I started with a kraft base card. The white background panel was first stamped with the vines (SweetStamps). Then I dry embossed the panel with a wicker basket design (Cuttlebug). Since the card was longer than my folder, I had to hold my breath and force myself to cut a slit in the folder. Tim Holtz does this all the time, so I guess it's okay. lol The doilies were cut from my large and tiny felicity dies (Cheery Lynn). The butterflies and ovals are also cut from Cheery Lynn dies. My focal image (SweetStamps) was stamped using the marker watercolor technique. The sentiment is from Club Scrap.
I am entering this card into several challenges. The colors on my card were influenced by the color challenge at
Kraft Journal.
Cheery Lynn challenged us to use doilies. Both
SweetStamps and
Word Art Wednesday have an anything goes challenge.
Stampin' for the Weekend is challenging wants to see butterflies.
