So today I'm playing catch-up, after a day of recovering yesterday from that 3:30 wake-up to catch
So first card today is Sharon's challenge but this time she has been hijacked and she is the one being cased. This was somewhat intimidating - casing Sharon - but fun. The card base is kraft CS onto which I attached DP from My Mind's Eye after inking the edges. The lower border is pink CS run through a Cuttlebug Frills border. The main image is Flourishes Mixed Greetings; colored the bowl with chalks, and added some color to the mail with Prismacolor pencils, cut all that out and attached to white CS. The ovals were cut with oval Nestabilities. Used a slot punch and ran the ribbon through it. Have to say, after tying that beige...umm, thing...to the card...okay, it's a bow - I have a whole new level of respect for Sharon's bow-tying skills! I thought I was going to have to get a foot involved with this. Not completely happy with the way it turned out, but that is the best I can do with that poor bow. Sentiment from Verve was stamped and cutout with rectangle Nestabilities. Lastly, added some Dew Drops.

Both cards are gorgeous!
I'm always having problems with making bows too, it's a craft on it's own I guess.
