It’s a perfect day to send a card or two. Today I was up for the challenge from Simon Says Stamp. The theme for the challenge is: Take a Photo.
I was also a bit inspired by “Memorial Day” and the memories of loved ones. I love the idea of taking a picture and holding it in your heart…so you can always feel those good times and bring them to mind. See how I “framed” those good times in the card below?
So here’s my card:
Inside card:
I’ve been playing with a new technique that’s kind of fun: I embossed the arrows with white embossing powder and then watercolored over the top of them. The embossing resists the watercolor and the arrows remain white, but adding that color behind them makes them really pop!
I love the red glitter heart added to the frame, too. I used Stickles in Christmas red on that little heart.
Until next time, hold onto those good memories in your heart!
Very nice card! I like the watercolor around the arrows! Thanks so much for playing along with us over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog!
Thanks for your comment. I had fun making this one!
