This card fits the Sketch Challenge, which I must say I LOVE this week...what a great idea using up scraps of DP...we all have them!! It actually made making this card easy as it was the sketch I was having trouble with!
It is also for the Flourishes Challenge, which requires ribbon, maybe lace, but definitely ribbon - I have just popped across and checked out the FTTC07 info and lace is a form of ribbon - cool!!!
I flipped the card and used the 5 sedtions of DP on the back CS....which I made red and then lay out the DP and CBed CS alternately, leaving a touch of red around them. I then used 2 different gorgeous laces that I was given by my new friend Ann (Thanks Ann!!!) Poped the image up on 3D glue dots after layering it on black and then red. I chalked the image (no surprises there) and added the layered flowers and gem centres (which were from my Mum!) and added Nail Bling.
I have to say that I just love these Emerson girls - so full of attitude....don't you just love them!" The fabulous image was part of a RAK from misshelenstamps.....lucky me!! Thank you much Helen, I had a lot if fun with this!!
Thank you for looking, I always appreciate your comments!
