Make a Wish - 2 challenges

Sunday, July 3, 2011

Ummm...I created 2 cards this afternoon.  But, you'll only see one of them.  I'm really pleased with how this card turned out.  The other one?  Not so much.  In fact, not at all.  Part of it ended up in the waste basket.  And I rarely do that.  I finished the card, but...I'm not sure if I'll ever send it.

Moving on.

Cath, over at Moxie Fab World has a really fun challenge for us.  Love her challenges!  I've just recently started playing along.  Here current challenge is Beautiful Borders in the Moxie Fab World.  We're challenged to use border strips in an innovative way.

And, CR84FN has such a pretty color pallette for their current challenge.  Take a look :)

I decided to combine the 2 challenges into one card.

Here is my entry:
I used a Sizzix die to create this ric rac border.  But, instead of using it as a border, I've used it as birthday candles.  With a few gems for "flames".  For my sentiment I used PTI's Think Big Favorites #1, and I added a tiny gem to the dot.  A little baker's twine tied around the top of the card, finished it off.
I'd love to know what you think.  And I love reading your comments!




Supplies:
cardstock: cherry cobbler, pretty in pink (SU) stamper's select white (PTI)
ink: cherry cobbler
clear stamp: think big favorites #1 (PTI)
other: baker's twine (RRR), clear gems (Recollections from Michaels)
