I started with a string art panel that has been in my stash for awhile. Stamped the Goethe saying in black then, since today's Teapot Recipient Katherine loves music, I added random imprints of part of a Stampabilities sentiment in old olive. Once dry I put it in a music EF, ran part of it through the big shot for heavy embossing and finished some of the areas around the large sentiment with a hammer for a fade away look. Stamped the Unity girl on white cardstock, colored with prismacolor pencils then fussy cut. I glued her feet directly to my bg but raised up the rest of her body with 4 layers of cardstock strips for some added dimension. Finished with a scattering of brightly colored sequins - they felt a bit TOO intense to me so overlaid each on with a clear iridescent sequin offsetting just slightly.

Every little detail of this card is amazing! I really enjoyed reading your creative process and I know that Katherine is going to be able to feel the love that went into this card. Gorgeous!

I love this. I have a few of the pulled string pieces and I have never thought of embossing with it! I will do it now though. Great coloring on the gal!

Great bg and fabulous image, LInda. Not sure you could have picked a better sentiment. Love this! Hugz

Oh my - I love the string art. The top bit even looks like a heart! What a lucky accident is that. You did great work with the faded embossing. And what a meaningful sentiment.
