One of SCS's great artists, Francie G., has been crowned QFTD 20. Congratulations, Francie!!! Oh, so many, many beautiful cards to choose from--I was overwhelmed. After looking and looking, clicking back and forth, I finally chose this gorgeous card Lovely Framed Violets (FG) by Francie G. at Splitcoaststampers. I decided to use the same stamp and make a birthday card for my SIL, Kathi.
I combined this challenge with the F4A23 to do something with one side of the card (I added the punched border) and to use something new (bonus). The Sizzix embossing folder was still in the package, as was the Wild Wasabi CS, both having just arrived last night.
I colored the violets with Prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS.
Enjoy your week, Francie.
Good weekend to all.
