This week over on the City Crafter Challenge Blog, challenge #92 is titled "Pretty Inside and Out". the challenge is to decorate the inside of your project as well as the outside. I got a late start this week making this card, due to brain drain!!!!However, there is still time for you to play as well.
I have a kraft card base, with lots of designer paper and lots of embossing and punching. I am in one of those moods today where I just want to combine whatever I can stamp and get away with. I spent the afternoon stamping this and that until I came up with the perfect owl for this card. I used a piece of cs that I had stamped a medallion on awhile back(saved, never used) to punch my owl and wings. My inside dsp was a piece already cut and in my scraps. I embossed it with the tulip frame ef, before adding an owl and stamping I love you. The butterfly is left from my gift bags, to which was added a pearl body. Do you see my peek a boo window? This was the hardest part of making this card, getting everything lined up right. That and all the stamping with markers and fussy cutting took a little more time than usual.
You are probably wondering where I got the idea to combine this front with the dsp on the inside. That is where my brain was today, half in one world and half in the other.
I love this dsp. Fyi, I had to have my husband dig out the bag of scraps that I threw away when cleaning my room. I found myself trying to make cards this week with no scraps. Well the big black trash bag is now on the floor! The back of this card has another owl back, I could not resist using it after I punched it. It was another 73 degree day here, have a wonderful Monday!
