Lady Framed

Greetings,

I made this card for Joan's Garden challenge #5 this week.  Joan wanted us to frame our focal image and use Graphic 45 papers somewhere on our project.  This is my card for Joan's challenge.

First, let me say I absolutely LOVE Graphic 45 papers and have been known to covet them - I just can't bear to cut into them.  (do you do that with some papers?)  Anyway, I wanted to play in Joan's challenge #5  so I had to cut some.  :-(    You can purchase these papers and more lines of Graphic 45 papers from Joan Fricker at her blog site.

I used Gina K Design Pure Luxury Ivory card stock for the base of my card and Red Lipstick for the red layer.  The Graphic 45 papers were from the Domestic Goddess collection.  My stamped image is Gina K Design from the stamp set "Sew Pretty", designed by Asela Hopkins. I used Nestabilities Petite Ovals for the frame.  The image was colored with Copic markers and I die cut and distressed the flower out of the same Graphic 45 paper.  The purse and belt are accented with Sakura black glaze pen; the buckle and purse edge was accented with Sakura Gelly Roll clear pen.  The gloves were accented with Inkssentials opaque white pen.  I also used Distress Inks around the edges.

Thanks for looking and I hope you all have a great day!

Cheri
