Since Monday was a holiday, I could try the technique Monday challenge which I love but never have time for. It would be my luck that it was something a little tricky - a tent card. I read the instructions and it didn't seem that hard except the dangling image part and the aligning the cutout part. Then I decided to make it a regular 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 size but ventured out on my own on that part instead of finding an adaptation guide - not recommended! Anyway, I did finish it in between the fish fry we had and the daily chores!
I love learning new things that stretch me!
PT - one measly die cut! Gained two lbs (seriously) at the fish fry - should have brought out my punches!

Wow! I can't believe you crafted this in between the fish fry and chores! I need a clear frame of time to get something this gorgeous done! And I've never tried a tent card. Kudos to you for trying it on a busy day!

Beautiful results! Lots of time and effort went into this beauty! I figure fussy-cutting should count in place of punches cuz it takes waaaaaaaayyyyyyy longer! Great card...

I wouldn't talk about "stretching" if you catch my drift Nancy!! LOL!! But, I do agree that the right kind of "stretching" your talents, not necessarily your body, are good for you. I LOVE what you've come up with here. You put a lot of effort into this and it shows! I think you should easily get credit for all that cutting Nutzi!! This turned into an extremely BEAUTIFUL card!! TFS!

So very pretty, Nancy/Nutzi! Love your adorable tent card. But, to gain two lbs. making it is NOT a good thing. Oh, I see that was the fish fry...well, now it is o.k. Did you catch those fish???? I bet it was DH. Your flowers at the bottom are gorgeous.
