Was so glad the challenge today was within my realm!
My daughter bought me a present when she was in San Francisco yesterday. It was a box of Kate Spade Coasters. Loved them and thought......I could make my own dp CASEing them! LOL.....So I did.
Made my dp first by punching out a bunch of circles out of my masking paper. Placed them onto w/c paper, then brayered red pepper over them. Removed the dots and I now have my own dp to use.
Stamped my images on w/c paper, colored using re-inkers, cut out. Since I couldn't find my "ric rac" of old, I found a stamp I had so I used it. Stamped onto w/c paper, then cut out.
Cut a rectangle of yellow gold linen cs, stamped itty bitty backgrounds on the edges. Layered my dp on top, glued on my images, popping up flower tops only. Popped up the bee and sentiment.
Glued the "ric rac" across the bottom, sponged the card edges because I just couldn't handle the bright white! LOL That was it. TFL :0)

Kate Spade .. not too shabby, girl, not shabby at all! Love your photography - see you can do it! Your card is adorable. To be honest, cathy, I dont read more than the first paragraph: I cant understand one thing you do - way beyond me so I leave more time to just contemplate what must have gone into a card like this. Great card.

This is a fabulous card Cathy and the way you've sponged the edges it looks like a 3d frame. Very clever to make your own spotted dp, love your inventiveness and the stamped rick rack is just gorgeous, I think I like it better than the real stuff. Image lovely and beautifully coloured as always. Another for my favourites!
