Good Monday everyone! Today's challenge was to make a recessed window card. Wow! Took me a bit to figure this out from the diagram given... but I finally got it. My problem was that I wanted to used this Me & Carrie Lou butterfly image and so I had to make the box much larger and therein was my issue... because in so doing I first made the bevel too large and there was a gap between my top and base... so... FINALLY I figured it out! Whew... taxed my poor brain today! LOL! Thanks Lynn for the challenge! I need that to push me on to new things!
The card is simple because I wanted the image to take center stage. The image is stamped in VersaMark and embossed in black ep, then colored with Copics. I might add Shimmerz later... we'll see. I cut the image out and popped up on dimensionals. The yellow is textured Bazzill, the black is unknown, and the red mottled bg is Provocraft. I added black gemstones and that's it. Thanks as always for taking a peek!
Have a great day!
