We are to bring cards with a southwestern flavor this week. Our cards, if we choose, are heading out to Sharon, a gal who is missing her family in Arizona due to surgery.
I based this card, somewhat loosely, on a beadwork pattern found online. I used a Spellbinders pinking border die & ran each square of paper through my Cuttlebug 4 times to get each edge pinked then glued each layer, 13 of them, together. After what seemed like 42,000 passes through that Cuttlebug & 42,000 glue sticks this is the result. Added a stamped & embossed gecko & voila.
Hope you & Sharon will both enjoy this one.
