Still Hot

Hi there!  This is my second post today so if you are looking for my DT card for the Copic/Promarker Challenge (The Outlawz), please scroll down one post.  I am popping in for just a moment to post the card I made for Joan's Gardens Challenge #23.  The requirements were to have an "oldies but goodies" theme, use blue, add a corner embellishment and  make a card for a friend.  I knew right away I wanted to make a birthday card for a good friend of mine whose birthday is just around the corner.

Here is my card:


I started with a card base of GKD Turquoise Sea and layered with patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart Be Amazing 6x6 pad.  My fun "oldies but goodies" image is Stella - Still Hot from Bugaboo Stamps.  I think Stella is just a hoot and unfortunately, I can relate to this particular image and sentiment!  I'm pretty sure my friend will enjoy it, too!  I printed her on Copic X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Glossy Accents to her glasses.  The corner embellishments were made   by trimming up a Cheery Lynn Dutch Square Doily die cut and adding a turquoise gem to each corner and that was it.

Thanks for stopping by again!  Have a great weekend and hope to see you again soon!

  11. A really fun card, Carla. I could sit in front of a fan like that right now....not for the same reason as Stella but because I have been in the yard working and it is really heating up in North AL. Yikes!
    Once again, I love your pretty dp.
