Hi everyone! Welcome to Wednesday...it's Hump Day as they say on the local news..and it drives me bonkers because the guy says it with this weird cartoon like voice. I swear, it totally starts my Wednesdays off wrong..lol. Anyway, today's card is a tad busy, but I like it. I went button crazy as you'll see. :)
I used the 4th sketch from the Verve Release week sketch challenges and also I am participating in the Practicing Creativity Designs challenge this week. Take a looksie at Courtney's blog for more info! You could be the Guest designer next month! Here is the Verve sketch:
And here is my card:
I got the idea of making it a long card from Laurie's card last week. It IS huge, but I like it. I liked that I had a lot more room to make my image...it was a lot of fun. The buttons make it a tad bulky, and my husband said, "You're going to have to hand deliver that!"...lol. I am also (thanks to Michelle) entering this into the Denami Ribbon challenge. Take a looksie and come play along. Ribbon is just the BEST card thing, right? I love love love playing with ribbon. :)
This card was totally fun...I fell in love with the colors,too. Not sure if you can see, but there is a kraft layer under the yellow. Ok, well that's it from me. Hope you like the card. Laters!
