Happy Anniversary

My attempt at Becky's most difficult challenge (in my opinion) yet!

I honestly think that staying within her cutting guidlines is the hardest part for me. Once I cut the Soft Stone CS to her measurments, there were only a few places it could go! AHHH...I like options, not restrictions! *grin*

Turning it on it's side made it better for me, but then it also made the card "hand-deliver only," unless it goes into a larger envelope. But I liked the hang over on the sides...it made my eyes travel all around!

I embossed a few branches from Turning a New Leaf with white ep on top of the soft stone piece, and then ran the Enchanted Evening base through a CB embossing folder and rubbed it with white pigment ink as well. Added the ribbon, bow, button and stamped a sentiment from Damask Designs and it was good to go!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hope your Wednesday is wonderful!

Becky's challenge #5

I decided to stop stalking Becky's compose a card challenges and actually participate. I know, I know. What was I waiting for? *grin*

This week's colors were red, white, and aqua, and the only rules are you have to stay within her cutting guidelines and the color scheme. Simple, right?

This challenge was a lot of fun for me, because I was just playing around with no real "goal" in mind. It was nice not to HAVE to make a card for once!

I realize that the sentiment doesn't show up too well in these photos. It says "you're a true forever Friend."

Thanks for stopping by today!
