Denim and Lace

It's time for another Anita Be Stampin' challenge.  Yay!! =)  This week we were challenged to create a card inspired by denim and vintage lace using only dark blue, light blue, cream, brown and other neutral(s) of your choice.  I had a ton of fun with this challenge!  I decided to combine it with a couple of others.  First is One Crazy Stamper's sketch of the month:


Second is the Desert Islands Craft Challenge.  It's an itinerary challenge, where you use three or more of the following itinerary items:


Brenda's Itinerary
 
1. Make it square
3. Handmade flower
4. Hand colored image
5. 2 or more patterned papers
6. Pearls
7. Twine
8. No sentiment on the front
9. Distressing
10. Birthday Theme


I used #1, 4, 6 and 8.

Here is my card!


Estella (one of Anita's AWESOME stamps found here) was colored using Copic markers.  The paper behind her are ripped jeans from the Me & My Big Ideas Urban Bling paper pack.  The brown and cream panels were textured using a Cuttlebug folder and my Texture Boutique.  Add some gems, flowers, pearls and lace...and voila!!

I hope you enjoyed!  Thank you for stopping by!

Starla, this card is so beautiful! Your choice of colors and embellishments really make this wonderful image the center of attention...which is what that little beauty should be. And those panels with the embossing and rhinestones are fabulous!
