Today is my DH's and my 3rd anniversary! This is the card that I made for him. It is a CASE of an amazing card made by Anna Wight (SweetMissDaisy). Anna'a card is so amazing and her coloring is incredible! It is through Anna's work here on SCS that I was first introduced to Ollie and Olivia, and as soon as I saw this card of hers I knew that I had to case it! Here is a link to Anna'a card: You're a Hoot! - Anna Wight by SweetMissDaisy at Splitcoaststampers.
I kept the same main image and layout as Anna, as well as the piercing and the use of brads. I used different colors. I went with chocolate chip, soft sky, and kraft- nice masculine colors. The main bg panel is kraft cs and the Speckled jumbo wheel has been used with chocolate chip ink to create the bg. I then sponged choc. chip ink around the edges of the panel. I matted this bg panel with soft sky and choc. chip cs. The vertical panel is soft sky cs matted with choc. chip. I stamped the En Francais bg on the soft sky cs with soft sky ink. I then sponged choc. chip ink around the edges. The sentiment (from Define Your Life) is stamped over the En Francais in chocolate chip ink. The horizontal panel is whisper white cs. I stamped the Ollie and Olivia image in black stazon and colored it in with my Prismacolor pencils and the gamsol magic technique. I then masked off the image and sponged more mustard ink around the image. I love the glow that Anna created in her card, and I was trying to recreate that in my card. I used my paper piercer and mat pack to add the piercing around each of the main panels. Finally, I added the row of brads in the soft sky panel. over the main image.
Thank you so much Anna for sharing your amazing work, you are such an inspiration.
Thanks for looking!
Now I am off to get ready to go out to a really nice dinner at The Melting Pot!
