Come join the fun and creative challenge! There is a more CAS version of the sketch to choose if you aren't into doing lots of layers and details. And, you have the possibility of winning prizes!!
Priscilla came up with a real challenge this week, at least for me anyway. The corset design part of the card is what got me. I rarely use eyelets any more, even though I have tons of them, as they're kind of a pain. But, with my Crop-A-Dile, it turned out to be pretty easy. I couldn't figure out the threading for awhile - give me a break, I have 2 boys and don't sew, so what do you expect? Last time Priscilla pulled one of these on me, I chickened out; but, this time I was determined to be brave!!! All in all, I have to say that Priscilla's designs usually end up making interesting and more detailed cards than I would normally make.
I used the SU Sending Love DSP paired with chocolate chip and pretty in pink. I adhered layers per the sketch, punched in all my eyelet holes and secured them, then ran ribbon in a criss-cross pattern up and down.
I thought this would be a pretty Mother's Day card for my Mom since it's very feminine and a little fancier than normal.
I used my MS medallion and chrysanthemum punches for the featured spot and added a large jewelry piece I found at Michael's awhile back. I thought it kept in theme of the overall card.
Added ribbon treatment to the corner matching the corset ribbon at the bottom, some pearls and my sentiment.
The 1st layer, 2nd layer, image mat, flower punch and jewel were all popped up on dimensionals.
Thanks for listening to my rambling and have a wonderful week!!

Oh my! This is a real drop-dead gorgeous card, my friend! The ribbon corset effect is amazing, and I love how you added a bow too in the same ribbon. And that jewel - wow! I wish we had a Michaels here in the UK - I see so many cards here that use things from there, and I just love them!

Very fancy, my girl!!!! What a lovely card.............. but I must ask - with all of that fancy lacing - is your mother to conclude that she should wear a lace up corset???? Is that the not so secret message embedded in this otherwise gorgeous card???? Punchz yes, but as always, I detect a subliminal message........... yes, - a girdle for your mom, for mother's day............. Won't she be pleased???? What a wonderful message!!!
And - I do love that fabby paper from SU!! Delightfully done!

WOWZERS Pam is this totally gorgeous! Look at all that incredible lacing my friend, and that pretty metal jewelry piece(I have the same one I think) is beautiful! You have done an amazing job....again! Your dp is soooo pretty and I just love the pink and brown combo...one of my favs for sure. I do have to agree with you about the eyelets though, I don't use them much so it was a challenge for me but you've pulled it off beautifully! Well done for not giving in on the easy way out this week!!! LOL
Thanks so much for playing along with us, it's always such a treat to see what you come up with.
Hugs,
