Today's Twisted Sister challenge was to make a card using no neutral colors apart from brown or black. I used craft and the backside of my blue print DP, which was CB'd. This sweet image was a bd gift from that Stamp Animal- Shellapoo! Thanks sistah! XO The image was done in black EP and water colored.
The hardware is a jewelry box fastener from Orchard Supply Hardware, one of my favorite places to hunt for card doo-dah.
Thanks for looking!
