Back again with my card for Dare to Be Sassy Thursday Challenge! This week we want to see you re-use or recycle something on your creation. This was easy for me as my sister went to Riga recently and brought me a lovely scarf back which was packaged in really pretty paper:
As soon as I saw the paper I thought I would keep it for a card. So here we are:
I think it looks really pretty. I used Sassy Designs Elizabeth Bennett which was coloured with Copics. I cut and matted her with Spellbinders Long Classic and Scalloped Rectangles and used Labels 8. A Martha Stewart punch for the border and Cheery Lynn Tags 2 for the Waltzingmouse Sentiment. The flowers are Wild Orchid, ribbon, bird and lace heart from my stash. Here is another view:
Challenges I would like to enter:
Die Cuttin' Divas - Thank You
Ladybug Crafts Ink - Blue and White
Oldie But a Goodie - Ribbon and/or lace (My Old items are heart and flowers)
