CDAC is having it's Group Challenges and the host of the Holiday/Special Occassion Challenge this time is Nicecrane Designs. Now if you haven't been to
Nicecrane before you really should go and take a look! Igancio has the most fabulous vintage images. He has things like the original Alice In Wonderland and Peter Pan....not to mention Vintage Advertising, Peter Rabbit and a whole long list of other wonderful images that you can find in his store. And he also has some fantastic freebies, so what are you waiting for...go take a look....oh wait...first I would like you to see the card I made. Ignacio was kind enough to give us the cutest little image to use for this challenge. It is called Incredible Friends DS2 and the challenge is to make a vintage card...in other words one that looks like it was made a 100 years ago. So the colors will not be bright but more to the earth tones. The challenge was to make a card that one friend could give to another, but I hope they'll forgive me an allow my card as I made it for one of my sisters who is also one of my dearest friends. Now before you start going "Wow...hope her other sisters (I have 3) don't see this"...I have already made beautiful cards for the other 2 also. But I do digress and am getting off topic. So here is my card that I made with Incredible Friends DS2. The fruit on the tree was supposed to be apples, but I just thought that peaches would look so wonderful with these colors.
The base of the card is made with SU Crumb Cake. The dark dp is from
The Sherlocks' Home and it is part of their Golden Holiday collection. The light bg pp is also part of the Golden Holiday collection. The frame also comes from Sherlocks Home and it is part of the Everything Nice collection. The Image is colored with Prisma Scholar Coloring pencils and oms. The leaves on the tree are done in a green metallic gel pen from Michaels. The sentiment is from TLC and you can find it and more
here, and you can find the store
here.
I have decorated it with small off white pearls and mini mulberry paper mache roses.
The inside of the card has a sentiment that I found at Split Coast Stampers. It reads:
I guess it's true what they say
About not being able to appreciate
Some of life's greatest gifts until we get older.
When I was younger,
I thought of you as just my sister,
But now I realize that you're not just my sister,
But a very special friend.
Happy Birthday to my Sister...My Friend!
