Okay...not the best for last...but this is my last 2014 HYCCT card...
Yes...thanks for the cheering! I sweated over this one...but in the end..not too bad for my first attempt of knowingly making a mixed medium card. First, I used a paper doily and daubered on ink to the card base. Then, I used one of my attempts for the earlier smoosh ink technique and cut it out with a nestie. I used watercolor and colored pencil on the bra image...just colored pencils on the sentiment. I really wanted grey ribbon...and have none. So I had to go back to a paper strip when my sheer organdy was too sheer. Bling and cord...boy, there is more supplies to add...make a bit of happiness. And that heart...was a button. I just cut off the shank.
All that is left is to get these posted to the Queen thread...box them up and ship them off! What was YOUR favorite challenge?

Yay, yes, that is cheering you hear! Well done! Doesn't it feel good. This is a pretty, feminine result for your mixed media - such a perfect image and sentiment, Dawn!

I'm sure it feels great to be done! Yea! Your card is beautiful! I love the smooshed ink piece and the doily and sponged pattern from the doily. What a great base for your card!
