613 Avenue Create - Guest Designer

Good morning!  Happy Sunday!  I hope it is Sunday morning when you see this, and equally I hope that I will still be sleeping!  Let's hope Mr. Blogger has the same idea.  I have some exciting news today!  I was invited to be a Guest Designer for the 613 Avenue Create Challenge blog!  This week I am participating with Team B.  Challenge #12 is now up and the theme is "anything goes".  This week's challenge is sponsored by Rick St. Dennis and I was generously provided with one of his fantastic images for my card.

Here is my creation:


My card base and mats are SU Rose Red and the patterned papers are from the Prima Annalee and Madeline 6x6 pads.  The beautiful image is Lady of the Roses from Rick St. Dennis.  You can find her in Rick's Etsy shop here.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Lime Green and Aqua Stickles to her jewelry to make those pieces sparkle.  The background circle was cut from Lucky Limeade with my Cameo using a cut file from Pam Ramesh.  She generously shared the free file on her blog here.  I painted some Ornate Corners (chipboard) from Make it Crafty white and added them to the panel behind the image.  Some Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure you visit the 613 Avenue Create blog and check out the gorgeous creations from the rest of the DT.  I'm sure they would love it if you would play along!

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
