I did it!

I have been wanting to use an image from The Graphics Fairy for a card for a very long time! I looked through her images for Easter and found this one. The card turned out how I had imagined it. That is nothing short of a miracle!

I cut the image out with my Spellbinders classic oval large. I used victorian lace ribbon (unknown maker) and the small brown bow with American Crafts velvet rickrack. The blue Stampin' Up paper was embossed with the Victoria Cuttlebug folder. The brown paper is Stampin' Up kraft paper. The kraft paper and the blue paper were distressed with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Thank You!

My extra special friend Denise gave me some Tim Holtz's Distress Inks for my birthday and a the gear Cuttlebug folder I have been wanting! She even let me pick out the ink colors myself!

As usual, she challenged me to make something with my new stuff. I bought the new Tim Holtz die Heart Wings while we were shopping.

I cut out the background heart from the Heart Wings and embossed them with the Cuttlebug gear folder. I embossed the raised gears with clear embossing powder and then swiped the hearts with the Distress ink for embossed resist. I missed some spots but I still like how they turned out!

This card is not my usual style but I really like it! The inside of the card would make a great card on it's own!
