Julia's challenge today was to incorporate bits of our home on our card... I love flowers in the house, and we have so many pictures on the wall that we're running out of space. Many of them are photos and embroideries, and I nearly put a little photo in the frame on this card, but as you can see, I didn't.
5 3/4" square base, covered with blue Core'dinations, distressed and sponged with blue. Main layer is Basic Grey, distressed and sponged with Antique Linen. When I put the card together there was too much blank space, so I scored it from just under halfway down, sponged more heavily and added a little strip of paper. Picture is from Music Expressions, mounted in WRMK hardware. Bureau is Pink Cat Studio's Shabby Chic, stamped with Ranger's Archival Black on some Polished Stone card (Caramel and Espresso). The vase of flowers is from the same set, coloured with H2Os and with Glossy Accents on the vase. I added a sentiment - not something I often do.

So pretty and classic Sabrina. I love the flowers and the image of the owl. Great take on the challenge. I think you may have inspired another card here...
P.S. That's fine, I still wish you guys the best. LOL
P.S.S. About the foam, well, I just use plain 2 sided tape I get at the $$$ store. Hope that helps my friend.

This looks just like a room Sabrina! So sweet! It was brilliant to add the scoring as wainscoting. And the perfect frame for a picture on the wall! The vase of flowers is great too! Love your card. TFS!
