(I am attempting to use my Christmas present of a tablet to post this so please bear with me,computer literate I am not!)
I think I might be pushing it here, but when I saw the challenge at Addicted to CAS ,I just happened to be making a card for my SIL who will be 60 this week,and the first thing I thought of was that my SIL was heading into a NEW decade and a NEW phase in her life as she officially retires...
I made the card using pool party for the ;number 60 and the flourish which is from a retired Christmas Set of SU using Baja breeze ink. The flowers are punched and hand finished at the centres with a fine black pen and a gem.Finally the sentiment is also from SU.
(The ribbon bow is there because I confess that I left an inky mark and needed to hide it
oops).

A great design Jenni, I love how you've done the flowers and the swirls. Great take on the challenge too! xx

A new decade does it for me Jenni! Love those flourishes and your clever ribbon treatment! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty card, love the extra details on the flowers and the colour is gorgeous. Would never have known the bow was covering an "oops" as it looks fab :) Cathy x
ReplyDeleteLOVE the way you center focused this! Thanks for joining in with ATCAS!
ReplyDeleteI so love when challenges just happen to line up and work with a card you are either working on, or had in mind! I think this is a gorgeous card for your SIL and I love your interpretation of the "new" in terms of what she is going through.
ReplyDeleteAnd, IMHO, thank goodness you made a boo-boo, because that bow is the perfect touch right there!! Hugs, Darnell
