I wonder if any you are thinking "she sure is earning that versatile blogger award!" I don't know about versatile, but I definitely qualify for eclectic! LOL You just never know what kind of project you're going to see here do you? :) I'd have to say this card is in the vintage/shabby chic category. Haven't made anything like that in quite a while.
Most of you probably know that City Crafter is my most favorite place to play card challenges. Well, this week's challenge is to make something with little children. That one had me scratching my head for a minute. Then I checked my Google Reader, (trying to keep up with what everybody's doing) and there--lo and behold--was a post from Magic Moonlight with this adorable freebie Christmas image of these three little girls. Just what I needed for the challenge. So here they are all cute and sweet on my card.
I pulled out my fabulous Basic Grey Jovial paper pad, added a little Bo Bunny scrap to make a pretty snowflake punched strip, inked and inked and inked (you get the picture) and rolled and rolled and rolled (ummhmm), Stickled and Glimmer Misted and distressed like crazy and this was the end result--this card, multicolored fingers, and a VERY messy kitchen table. :) The circle has stitching around it although you can't see it very well in the photo. I used one of those plastic canvas pieces as a template to mark the holes evenly around the circle and then stitched by hand. It worked great! I used a quilling tool to make my rolled roses. It made it so easy. Hope you like it.
Happy Thursday!
