Good Monday everyone! Today's challenge was to make a recessed window card. Wow! Took me a bit to figure this out from the diagram given... but I finally got it. My problem was that I wanted to used this Me & Carrie Lou butterfly image and so I had to make the box much larger and therein was my issue... because in so doing I first made the bevel too large and there was a gap between my top and base... so... FINALLY I figured it out! Whew... taxed my poor brain today! LOL! Thanks Lynn for the challenge! I need that to push me on to new things!
The card is simple because I wanted the image to take center stage. The image is stamped in VersaMark and embossed in black ep, then colored with Copics. I might add Shimmerz later... we'll see. I cut the image out and popped up on dimensionals. The yellow is textured Bazzill, the black is unknown, and the red mottled bg is Provocraft. I added black gemstones and that's it. Thanks as always for taking a peek!
Have a great day!

This is gorgeous, Grace! The butterfly is so beautiful and you've showcased it so beautifully with the colors and the recessed frame! The black gems are beautiful, too! Just right!

That gorgeous butterfly couldn't do anything but take centre stage - it's fabulous. Have to admit that I have a failed frame waiting to be recycled for paper scraps .
