I loved the composition of this card - so why change perfection? I liked the soft sponging too. I got to thinking about black tie celebrations and fancy events: maybe weddings or 21st birthdays or graduations. Maybe the Oscars were in the back of my mind but I got to thinking about glamour and that's where I've tried to go with this card.
Update: Delighted to get an Honourable Mention at Time Out Challenge.

ReplyDeleteThis screams elegance Jan, its stunning!! Just love the direction you took for CASEing Marika's card and that glittering flower with the black detail in the middle is incredible!! My computer/craft area is in a corner of our dining/lounge room and turns into an oven during the day, although its not much better at the moment. I'm loving all these hot days but got a bit carried away in the sun today and my skin is paying for it.....So happy to see you at TIME OUT too!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to leave my living room as it's the only room with air-con! But once your children leave home, then a craft room conversion is in order!
