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!!
