Finally, I have braved the 'wild frontier' of challenges...this is my first one! It has been a bit like the ironing...the thought of it is worse than the actual thing, getting that board up is half the battle!!!
I am greatly comforted by the fact that I read somewhere that there is no right or wrong (hopefully today doesn't change that!).
I have used Textured Textiles EF on my backgound cardstock. The circles & images are layered and then adhered with 3D tape to give more dimension. A length of knotted chiffon ribbon is added to the lower DP, along with half pearls at each corner of the same.
I am happy with the result, love the challenge layout and I think...no I'm sure...I'm addicted, I have already done by second card in my mind BUT first, I had better get the ironing board up....Thanks for looking!!!
