The current ODBD challenge is Wing It. I made this card using the Don't Worry set - the Corrie ten Boom quote is on the inside.
I cut a base using Labels 10, and trimmed the centre *lobe* off the bottom of the backof the card, so that it stands securely. I cut a second full layer from Bristol Board. Stamped and masked the flowers, then positioned the butterfly. I coloured them with watercolour crayons, and then sponged the sky and added Stickles to the centre of the open chicory flower. The sentiment was punched with the Word Window punched, edges sponged with Spiced Marmalade and popped up on foam. I added two colours of Liquid Pearls all around the edge - Baby Blue at the top and bottom, White Opal all around the edges. I'd planned to add half-pearls at the top, but thought it would be too much.
