Family Is Best

Hi again!  I'm dropping in for just a quick second to share I card I made today.  If you are looking for my Heartfelt Creations Design Team Alumni post, click here.  You only have another couple of hours to comment to be in the running for the $25 GC to the HC store.  Winner will be announced tomorrow by noon.

Here  is the card I made for the CAS Challenge #1 on the Jackson Digital Expressions blog.  The theme was Anything Goes with a twist - to use a family theme.

Here is my card:


I kept it as CAS as I could and I did use the family theme.  I started with a card base of GKD Turquoise Sea and layered with a panel of Layering Weight White that I embossed with the SU Tulip Border folder.  My image is Sisterhood by Robert Jackson.  You can find it in Robert's store here.  It was the image I chose for winning last week's challenge!  I printed it on Copic XPress-It Blending Card and colored with my Copics.  I 'm still trying to get the hang of coloring with this new paper.  I added a bunch of Stickles and Liquid Pearls to their hats and jewelry for some added sparkle.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  Except for the coloring, this really was a CAS creation! I didn't even add any ribbon or other embellishments!

Gotta run now.  Thanks for stopping by again!  Hope you have a great evening and wonderful weekend!
