I made this for this weeks CAS challenge as I am the guest designer. Obviously, it's October, which means it's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month so we are all participating in the HYCCT (Hope You Can Cling To) challenges, so our cards will be sent to a Cancer Center in Texas to be given to those who are suffering with various cancers. We hope you can play along! It's a great cause and the challenges are a lot of fun!
About my card. I used my cricut to cut my shutters and my vines. I added texture/distressing using Sahara sand ink, as well as pretty in pink, white craft ink and clear EP then heat embossed for a more textured look. I drew vines on my die cut vines and slid them in between the slats on the shutters so they are woven into them. I used micro brads for my handles and pearls for that little something extra. Hand cut my banner.
Stephanie, this is gorgeous! A fabulous take on the photo I shared with you!!! Of course, I just love the pink shutters being the pink lover that I am. I love all the pearls and the sentiment banner is beautiful. I want to LIVE in your house with the pink shutters, yes. I. Do. Thanks again for sharing your talents with us as guest designer!!!

How clever to loop the vines through the slats of the shutter, just like in real life. Neat touch! Also like the brad handles you added to your gorgeous shutters. Great card! TFS

All the special touches you've given this card makes it something really special. I love that you drew vines on the vines. That really gave them more dimension and weaving them in between the slats was a great idea.
Love it!
