Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday!! Here is my card for today's Sketch Challenge on SCS, SC223!!I made this card for my grandmother, who we call Nani. She is turning 90 on Easter Sunday (and...she still drives, LOVES to shop - brand names only...she is a firecracker!!). I wanted to make her a card that she would love, and I think I hit the mark with this one!!
For my card, I used the FABULOUS, newly released Fresh Flowers set from Taylored Expressions!! I stamped my vase and then stamped the flowers, which are out of the box, onto Choice White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black. I colored the water in the vase and the flowers and leaves with Copic Markers. I added two coats of Candelight Shimmerz to the flowers and I coated the water in the vase with Glossy Accents!!
All the papers are from Walk In The Park DSP, and I made my center panel a touch smaller to accomodate my Baja Breeze Corduroy Buttons!!!
I created the border of Basic Grey with my BRAND NEW Fleur De Lis Punch by EK Success, which my UBER fabulouso pal Jackie Pedro found for me in California and shipped it all the way to me in New York!! THANKS JACKS!!! You are the BOMB!!!
Notice...there is NO piercing on my card, but I did create a frame around my focal panel (well, around three sides of it...I didn't want to interfere with the vase), as I just CANNOT leave something with too much white space!!!
I stamped the sentiment, also from Fresh Flowers, directly onto my DSP, and I finished off my card with some White Satin Ribbon!!
I hope Nani loves her Birthday card!!! Happy Birthday Nani Rose!!!
