This is for two challenges. The first being the Hope You Can Cling To the second is for the Ways to Use It.
My base is Mustard, then Spice dp. I made my banners/strips using Espresso and Pool. On the Pool I ran each one through a different ef and mounted them on the Espresso. I then stamped the flower using Versa Mark and Espresso and heat set it using Clear ep. Sponged it with Pool and mounted it on Espresso. Popped it up. Added the bling on the bottom. Inside it says, Hope is a wish with a little more clout. The HYCTT challenge is to use strips. The way to use it challenge was to use odds. My strips are odd since there is three of them. My image is odd because it's one and my bling is odd since its three. Then you have the fact I made it!
If I could only have one set out of the SU catty this year this would have been the set. I think it is so elegant.
I love the idea of making these cards and sending them off to help others. My life is so blessed.
Have to get caught up with the other challenges. I have not been able to play for a few days.
Thanks for looking.
