Close as a Memory

July 8, 2008 By Connie | Leave a Comment

Mary and I worked on challenges about a week ago and this was one of the cards I made from a sketch (which I absolutely cannot find now!) and we had to use Kristina Werner’s colors of Regal Rose, Purely Pomegranate, River Rock and Wild Wasabi.

I really enjoyed this sketch and decided to use Close as a Memory since it fit in the oval so well. The scallops surrounding the oval are 1/2" circles glued to the back. I markered the flowers with Regal Rose and then highlighted with Rose Red. Them stems were done with Garden Green since we don’t have In-Color markers (I wish!!!). The background polka dot paper is from Cutie Pie. I finished with the Purely Pomegranate double stitched ribbon and a trio of rose-colored mini brads below the words So Sorry from Fundamental Phrases. Maybe it is a little bright for a sympathy card…guess I’ll have to keep it for the next time I tick off my hubby. lol!

I’m going to get off here…I have a class coming in about 45 minutes. And, thunderstorms are coming this way! I’m always paranoid that my computer is going to get hit!

Enjoy the evening!
