Making Memories...

Hello again. I've been working a while on this card. It's something I've been planning to do since around October, when I purchased the .svg file from Cards, Etc. to use with my Cricut, which I discovered while doing some blog hopping. I just kept putting it off, and I finally decided it was time to do it. There are several different aspects to the card, so there are several pictures.

This picture is of the front when it's totally closed. The flowers, ribbon and doilies are from my stash. The layered buttons are fairly new and I topped them with a gem.


This is the card with the front exposed so you can see Fluffles the cat. Isn't he cute? He's not too sure about his new friend, though. Of course, I would bet that the snail isn't too sure of him either.

This is a picture of the card partially open. I wasn't sure whether to post this picture or not, but if not, then you couldn't see the pretty detail on the other side of the petals that fold out. I basically just used the green paper for the last layer with the image of the girls and then on the outside of the petals. And then I used the burgundy paper for the inside of the petals and the final layer on the front of the card. Now you can see the card open. I used my nestibilities for the sentiment and then around the LOTV images. And I alternated dragonflies and butterflies on the petals, using both gems and pearls on them. The sentiment is one of these large sheet of sentiments you purchase, but I don't remember who they are by. I think I took as long deciding what I wanted to do with the card as I did putting everything together.

This is a closeup of the sentiment. (Obviously, LOL!)

And here is a closeup of my image. I colored them with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol and I distressed the edges with a Colorbox ink.
