Hi! This card was made for today's Inspiration Challenge: Fossil. I chose these Printed Bobbin Spools as my inspiration. Actually, I took one look at those babies and I knew I would have to use this stamp set.
I made some cards a few years ago that were, well...duds. They were HORRIBLE. However, they had LOTS of embellishments on them, and I couldn't just throw them away. So, they landed in my "Cards that have gone Terribly WRONG" bin. It's pretty darn full, and I decided that for the next few months, I'm going to go through the bin and sneak out pieces and parts to make new cards.
A friend of mine asked if I could make a "safari" card for her boss, as her boss and her family were going on a safari for 2 weeks next month. Well, I found this flower/ribbon thing glued to a really UGLY card and decided it would do nicely for a "ladies'" safari card. I added in some bling for this week's Stampin' B's Challenge.
The sun was made with a reverse mask and Copic Airbrush. I stamped in the images with Adirondack's Espresso. I had a few thin strips of that striped dp, so I put it at the bottom edge to work as a "border" for this week's Free 4 All Challenge, too.
Finished card size: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Total time to complete: 40 minutes.
