I made this card for today's SC470...Woohoo..I got it done in the wee hours of the a.m!
I also combined the sketch with this week's ODBDSLC185 challenge which was to use the recipe 2-0-1-4. I used 2 designer papers or flowers, no dry embossing, 1 bow, and 4 pearls.
Unfortunately I have a lot of friends losing loved ones and/or going through trials in their life. This is for one of them.
The foliage was created with the Fancy Foliage dies from ODBD.
I wanted a rectangular shaped card but did not have the grand scalloped so I cut my top twice with the Grand Scalloped Squares. The burlap and gold netting were recycled from gifts I received at Christmas.
Thanks for Looking!!
