Had some more time to stamp today - yippee!! This card is for our current QUEEN - hskelly aka Harriet. She has an amazing gallery and amazing talent!!
Harriet - thank you for sharing your talent for creating such beauty!! I loved spending time in your gallery today and found so many wonderful and stunning CAS cards that were calling my name. The one I chose is sooo beautiful: {HarrietÂ’s Card}
The image was stamped, colored with markers and pencils, sponged the background. My plan was to make a one-layered card, but after it was nearly complete and I pulled off the masking, I found that I'd accidentally made the card UPSIDE down. On top of that I smudged blue fingerprints on one corner, ugh... So much for a quick CASE CAS LOL!!!!!
Plan B: Trim the card down, emboss the basket weave EF as a border (ran it through the CB 4 times to achieve this), redefine all around the edge of the sponged area with a single embossed border/line using the scorbuddy, then mount it onto a new white cardstock base.
This card is for one of my fellow Punchie Palz who has a birthday coming up later this month. Happy Birthday Bugzi :-)!!!!
Hope you all like it! Thanks for looking!!
Enjoy your Sunday!
Harriet - ENJOY your week!!!!!!!
Hugs
Audrey

Whaaaat? I'm so confused Audzi. All I know is "WOW" this is one DYNAMITE card. LOVE that set BTW - isn't it so beautiful? And, your sponging is perfect Audz. I love the clean CAS look and the b/g ef is my favorite!!! This all adds up to a WINNA to me. Sorry you had some boo boos, but you sure knew how to fix them. I'm jealous as I haven't gotten to Harriet's card yet. I'm sure she will love this and Bugzi toooooo!! What a lucky gal she is. How did you get 3 cards made this w/end and each so beautiful??? You're not only talented, you're fassssst tooooo!! Kind of like Bearzi I guess. It would take me years just to make one of her cards. I'll nevah keep up with the likes of you!!! Bye Bye Twinzi!! See ya soon!

BTW, this looks AWESOME against the black background - it really pops. I need more direct lighting on my photos and am trying to work that out. You did REAL GOOD!

Audrey your card is a masterpiece! I think I am glad you made the mistakes as you ended up with such a gorgeous work of art - I love that texture for the background! The colored image just pops! Thank you so much for taking the time (more than you planned on I guess :o) to case a card today! I really appreciate it and all your sweet comments on my cards! Hugs, Harriet

That looks just fabulous to me, Audzi!!! Gorgeous colour choices and the spongin is second to none! I agree with Pamzi - it's great that you have the black back ground! I've yet to figure out how to take a picture with a black background - or perhaps you are able to photoshop in the dark background? In any case, you card is lovely!
