So Excited

I made this card using some ideas from some lovely women who share their talent on cardmaking sites. I was so excited that they actually worked for me! Most of the time I am not as proficient in my skills and I am DEFINITELY a hands-on person, therefore, I am very thankful for the video demonstrated age :)

Here is the result:

By the way ~ SO glad you stopped by!

I watched the video by Julie Ebersole on the Hero Arts blog for the coloring technique - did all my "huffing" too :) I used the inspiration from Jill Foster on shading the white label while leaving it in the frame so that the label would have a framing effect. I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink Tumbled Glass. AND  I took some white seam binding and colored it with one of my copics to dye it to blend with my other shades of blue. Marcy clued me in on where everyone buys their seam binding - thanks Marcy. Last but not least - I watched a video on how to tie the perfect bow!!!!!  I was one "high-tech" woman for a day!!! Love the results.

Thought For The Day:

Create in me a clean heart, Oh God; and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me."

Psalm 51:1-12
