Congrats, Lana! What a wonderful gallery! I chose Purple Shopping to case. I kept the basic layout and most of the colors but used different images and added a bow.
I colored it w/ markers and added a little iridescent watercolor medium on top of the cup for a little sparkle. I used the out of the box Nestie technique to cut it out. The blue-violet bg was run through the Grand Calibur with an embossing folder.
The ivory/yellow panel was stamped with pigment ink using one of my favorite past releases, Crocheted Bg. A little strip of the Crochet Border from Serve the Lord was added under the olive green panel. A matching Crochet circle was stamped and die cut using the ODBD custom dies. I used the first part of the sentiment for my little tags and the complete sentiment from the set is on the inside. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups and links for the release & hop are on my blog: The Write Stuff. Happy New Year!!
