the Card Concept Challenge - One Year Anniversary




...the lovely shimmer of the paper, so pretty IRL






Wow - how time flies when you're having fun! 

 I've thoroughly enjoyed this past year...visiting your blogs, meeting new people, delighting my senses with your amazing creations and enjoying the comradery of our crafting world. Your endless creativity is so inspiring! You should see my 'Must CASE' folder....it's huge!!!

 The moment I saw the challenge photo I had a 'ping' (quoting my BFF Bev). I love the pink & white striped paper...but it was the wee box in the top left hand corner of the photo and the angle of the partially removed lid that really caught my eye and influenced my design. 

 I created a Silhouette cut file, pierced a border on the angled panel, popped it up with some foam tape and added the rhinestones to the bottom panel. Nice dimension in real life.

 I'm sure that most of you are anxious to get your craft on now that the hustle & bustle of the holiday season has passed so why not play along with us at CCC ?

 Happy crafting!

    My dear friend, your card is making my heart and my face SMILE!! Stunning in its simplicity and the pink on white sure makes a statement! LOVE this! Your wonderful notes, prayers, compassion: so deeply grateful! If you've been feeling a bit 'off kilter' recently, it's likely all my fault: I've been 'leaning' on you for support. Thank you, Geri, for being absolutely marvelously wonderful!
    Hugs galore!!

    Wow, Geri ... really, so WOW! I'm so happy you added a detail photo so we could see the wonderful shimmer on that slender cut heart ... it's so gorgeous against all the crisp, glorious white! Love the detailing with the nestling gems and the pierced edges on the popped up panel ... yep, deliciously clean and gorgeously graphic, my friend! Bisous Bisous! Anita :)
