Hi! This card was used for today's Technique Lovers Challenge: It's in the Pieces.
After I made my first card, I realized that there is a a paper punched lady that designed eons ago. I've often made her, and she's a good fit with some of the new sets coming out! The lady is punched with 1 3/8", 1 1/4" and 1/2" circles, and 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" squares. I sponged NUDE onto Classic Flax to get the face!
I stamped the designer paper with the bird from Thoughts of Joy in VersaMark and embossed in gold. I stamped the sentiment in Adirondack Pitch Black and the flower spray in VersaMark and embossed it in gold. I sponged in the flowers and used a Memento marker to color in the leaves.
Finished card size: 5 1/4" square
Total time to complete: 42 minutes
Accessories: Mark's Finest Papers: sheer ribbon, cording, charm, brads Tools: embossing powder, marker, heat tool, The lady is punched with 1 3/8", 1 1/4" and 1/2" circles, and 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" squares

Hi Faith-finally-after so many years of admiring all your wonderful creations on here, I can comment on one, since I joined SCS just recently. Love your little Asian punched dolls, love all the polka-dots on your cards too. Have to admit you have inspired some of the cards I have made. You are truly an awesome artist, thanks for sharing.
