I made this card for a friend of mine. It's a birthday card-it seemed fun to be a little non-traditional. This image is from Silhouette and it's one of my favorites right now.
I used a Heidi Swapp stencil and gold Texture Luxe from Faber-Castell. It's a nice smooth paste. The background paper is from DCWV and it was printed with the handwriting. Then I used distress inks: gathered twigs, mowed lawn and dusty concord around the edges and on the words. I also used black soot around the edges.
I used stamps for the bottom-one is Inkadinkado and the other is Sparkle N Sprinkle. I finished it with 3 Tim Holtz rhinestone hearts.
Here is the inside. I did more than I usually do-LOL. The sentiment is from Hot off the Press (I think.) And the butterfly is from Tim Holtz. The lace is from Great Impressions. It's funny that now that I look at it-I should have stamped the other side with the lace. Next time! :)
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Great awesome look to your card. The die image can almost be a shadow effect of someone dancing and its showing against the wall. Or it could be a person dancing and just not color to the person. I love the different effects. I might have to look for this image. Lovely card. Hugs
