Great morning, everyone! Today, I am delighted to share this card I made just recently. I have colored the image a few weeks ago but it's only this time I was able to make a card out of it and so happy with the way it turned out. The image is from High Hopes Stamps and I colored it with my Prismacolor and Promarker markers. I used some Stickles for added dimension, ink the edges with Distress ink (Wild Honey), quite a number of brads (2 sizes), Prima flowers and lots of sewing. The "Just Because" sentiment is from Stampendous and the other sentiment I got from a book (Ultimate Guide to a Perfect Card) and was computer generated. I love it! About the DP I used, I tell you, I have some nice papers that I have kept for a long time now and because I don't have a place I can store them that gives me easy access, I tend to forget about them. So, I was glad I was not lazy that day to dig into my nice papers and found this one from K and Company (Portabello Road Collection). It's so fancy and compliments my image in terms of color perfectly. So, I ended up with a 5.5-inch square Easel card I am truly proud of. Hope you like it too.
