This is my very first
challenge and my first real posting to my new blog. I apologize if it
doesn't look exactly like it should. I am very much in the learning
process here. To create this card I used JustRite stamps for the message
in the center and the decorative round cream border. The message in the
center is from their Hope Set, which is actually squares, but I punched it
out using a circle punch. I layered it on red and black layers cut out
with Nestabilities. The decorative circle border is from JustRites
Decorative Borders set and was also cut out with a round Nestability. I
then layered all of this on top of black, cut out with my brand new
Beaded Circles Nestability. For the butterfly border on the top and the
decorative scalloped border on the bottom I used Martha Stewart
border punches. The red background was embossed with a
cuttlebug folder. I couldn't just do one challenge with this card.
My friend, Bonnie, talked me into actually creating a card that could go
into 5 different challenges. To meet these challenges I added
two black buttons, a handmade mini Prima flower, and a small butterfly on
the bow (also cut out with a Spellbinder Die). The butterfly is actually
double layered but I couldn't get it to show in the picture. Thanks
a lot Bonnie. (I will add her link, along with some of my other favorites, as
soon as I figure out how.) I decided my card needed a little
sparkle so I added a bit of red glitter.
For the Just
Rite Challenge I used the
colors red, black, and cream with a handmade flower and
butterfly and their stamps, of course.
