This is for IC161 - based on cakes! Now, how did I get here? Well, I chose a cake on page 3, that had flowers, hummingbirds, butterflies in pinks, greens, yellows and orange. Here is the link to the cake http://cakenouveau.com/cakes3.html Okay, that is the wrong cake - if you click on to the left that is the cake I based my card on!!
I based my card mainly on the colours - the pink and the green - and thought it's hard to see - that popped up little bit is a butterfly! The background paper is flowers similar to the colours on the cake.
This is a card for Michelle, Shellapoo here on SCS.. She has her own physical challenges, but as well, her mom has several surgeries and along with many others, I wanted to send a card to both Michelle and her mom to show them that I care and am praying for them.
I actually did some sponging!! Certainly cerelery along the edges on the dp, antique linen distress ink on the certainly celery piece of celery paper , and on the main image. IRL it looks much more distressed. I never dreamt that I could distress an image!
The piercing proved to be a real challenge as it was an afterthought because the card needed something! You know how that is..
Thanks so much for looking.. I'll be back later to comment!
