Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: Rock, Paper Scissors.
Rock: any metal or sparkle embellishments (Brads)
Paper: any papers-including designer-mine came from Flourishes!
Scissors-only scissors and paper cutters could be used.
Speedy the Cat LOVES my Christmas tree and it's ornaments. In my "former life, the one BEFORE MARKIE, every year I had a tree bedecked in Hallmark store MOVING ornaments. I LOVED it!!! (I had them on a surge protector! LOL!) But then, Markie was born, and the moving ornaments were put in storage. Now, my tree is covered with faux antique hand blown and painted glass ornaments. As a matter of fact, I looked in my buffet, and YES! I have one just like this one! LOL!
So, in honor of Speedy the Cat, I decided to make this card.
The background is designer paper from Flourishes. It has a glittery surface! LOVE it!
The cord-LOOKING strips are long THIN strips of metallic paper that I cut with my paper cutter.
The ornament was stamped in Close To Cocoa and colored with Really Rust and Apricot Appeal markers.
I only added dots to the vanilla border... my RA is really acting up....Time to get my meds re-evaluated! LOL!
