I made this card today for a few challenges.
This is the Friday Freebie image from Sew Many Cards Challenge. I thought it was really sweet so I downloaded it and decided to use it to enter the challenge. Her challenge is Purple, White and a Splash of Black. Not being a purple person all I had in my craft room that was purple was some solid CS. This card is a 6"x6" square. I used black and cut a piece of the purple 5-1/2 x 5-1/2. I was using a sketch from another challenge so I needed another paper with purple. I used a clear flourish stamp and stamped with purple on white paper to make it. I cut the image out with an oval nestie and backed it with a nestie scallop. The sentiment was also a clear $1 stamp cut out with nesties. I tried my hand at making one of those scrunchie flowers I had been seeing everywhere and saw again on Cheryl's blog and thought I'd give it a try. Her blog is definately one of my favorites (she doesn't know it but I began following her before I had a blog). Ok ... lol ... back to my card......I only had a little flower punch and used old dictionary pages and inked them with purple. It is OK but I need more practice. I added glitter to the hearts and around the edge (for ano
ther challenge) and 6 black dots. Image was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS. And that is all there is to it. A pretty simple card really....I am not overly pleased with it but I hope you like it anyway. Til next time.......
