Congrats to Bonnie! What a wonderful gallery she has! I spent quite a long time strolling her gallery and finally chose herNot Just for Valentines to case. I kept the layout and use of silhouette image, but I used different images, added some color and in place of the embossed background, I opted to use a leftover strip of card stock I made using dry wall mesh and white acrylic paint. I made this ages ago for the TLC235
challenge- Painted Grid.
I sponged the color on a piece of white card stock using a couple of Kaleidacolor ink pads, then stamped the Bird & Butterfly Label in one area and the Little Boy in another. I used a Spellbinders Labels 18 for the label and larger black layer and I hand cut the little boy and added him on top.The strip of painted grid was added across the top layer of my 5.50 x 4.25 card, then a black layer before attaching to the card front.
