This week's QFTD is Sallie a.k.a. hobbydujour. I have many of Sallie's cards in my favs, but when browsing through her gallery again, I fell in love with this card I cased. You can see her card here:
I changed the colors, the image, and the sentiment. My DH thinks the colors are too gloomy for a "to brighten your day" card :( I still like the colors I chose. I was much intimidated by sponging, because I am not very good at that technique - but all in all, I am really happy with how it turned out.
I went with SU Almost Navy, SU Close to Cocoa, and SU Creamy Caramel. I embossed the white images with Seafoam White powder. Haven't decided who I am going to send to, but I hope they like it.
Thanks Sallie for an awesome gallery to chose from, and hope you are enjoying your week!
