This card is for Art Deco Diva in the loss of her mother will be part of her Teapot Challenge just for her! I was able to fit several other challenges as well.
#1. MMTPT511 - 5/8/18 - Shabby Chic for SCSer Art Deco Diva in the loss of her mother. I've got ribbon, lace, layers, flowers, ink distressed edging, etc., but all done in a more simplified version than most shabby.
#2. Alphabet Challenge - DD9ABC12L - 5/9/18. L = color Linen...my cardbase, lace, and sentiment/ verse inks are shades of linen. Double Challenge = layers. I've got three mat layers, including the cardbase + two more layers in the flower and the sentiment. I think it's a GO!
#3. FS888 - 5/13/18 - picard76 aka Jennifer. I have a second card inspired by Jennifer's gallery. For this one, I used this card: Friendly Phrases Doily by picard76 at Splitcoaststampers. I cased Jennifer's card a bit and was also inspired by her color scheme. I used similar variations of her color shades. I used her doily flower medallion idea only mine is a smaller version, thus looking more like a flower. I also used embossing folder texturing as she did. I changed the layout, using one in the Dirty Dozen April monthly themes, and I used a sparkly brad for my flower center instead of a butterfly.
#4. CT-0418 - DDSKETCH0418 - 4/15/18. This is the Dirty Dozen April monthly sketch challenge. I followed the basic layout of the sketch and then added a flower and sentiment tag as well. I hope it is okay to embellish upon the sketch a bit?!
#5. Use It Challenge: ISEIT2018 - year around...use old/ new stuff gathering dust. I'm using lots of 2015 stuff: cardstock, lace, ink, the sparkly brad. Plus, a never used before embossing folder.
