Today I have something other than a card...It's a wall plaque. I picked up a 5 x 7 wood plaque at Walmart for $1.12 and started to play. This is what I came up with.
The image is from Fred She Said called Teacup Pansy - it's pre-colored for you so easy peasy. I just did lots of cutting and layering. As a matter-of-fact paper was flying everywhere on the craft table as I just kept die cutting and punching...needless-to-say after the glitter on Friday and the punching yesterday it is time for a vacuum today!
Got the idea for the frame from Becca Feecan. It's a spellbinders die cut called Grand Lace Border. I used Martha Stewart's Pansy PATP, Sizzx Flourish Die, Martha Stewart Large Chrysanthemum (Double Punch), Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Pendant. And now I just remember I was going to put a tag on this that says "To Someone Special" and dang I forget...so use your imagination for that one...lol Sorry!!!
So what do you think?

Oh, SPECTACULAR, Bearzi!!! This is a wonderful wall hanging. The colors on the pansies are just beautiful. I love the teacup and the pearly treatment you gave it. And look at all the punchez and layerz you gave this!! Stunning. It boggles my mind that someone (you!!!!) could make something as intricate as this. I know just where I would hang a beautiful wall plaque like this. Do you have a lucky recipient in mind? I'm sure she will be so pleased to receive such a lovely work of art

Carol, your wall plaque is scrumpti-delicious! What a wonderful job you did with those die cuts, punches, beautiful image, and those gorgeous pansies spread about. Just beautiful!!! Too bad about having to get out the vacuum.
