Well even though I made it, I still am going to call it a beauty. This is my favorite set so far that I have seen from the new catalog. Basically it’s cause you can color it, but I love doing the little sceneries. My favorite thing is obviously doing the cloud with the scallop circle, that makes the sky so lifelike. I actually just noticed I forgot to put the little itty bitty on the bottom for dirt, oh well…too late now! Now Sheri will tell you – huh Sheri? That pictures do not do the cards justice. She came to class tonight with Jaime and Jessica – hey girls, and she saw these cards in person and she told me that in real life they look way better.
I also added some Crystal Effects on the butterfly, the flower centers, and also the little ladybug on the blade of grass, is that not the cutest little detail?
I also paper pierced a strip of the new Bella Rose paper, and then connected the dots with a chocolate chip marker to make it look like stitched ribbon, and then added one of the new buttons. I added a little piece of whisper white cardstock cut real thin and “threaded” the button for some faux thread.
Here you can see some of the layering involved. I love to sit and cut out paper, I mean heck some of the pieces were so small, I had to hold them with tweezers, I get that cutting gene from my Granny I think.
I had two rounds of Fresh Cuts class today, and everyone loved their projects I think. I got my card pretty much done for tomorrow’s post, but want to make sure tomorrow, (I am headed to bed) so there will be no sneak peek tonight.

I am so jealous!!!! I am green with envy!!! My BFF Tracy and her cutie tight patootie hubby went to see Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand tonight in PA! Oh I wish I had been there. I mean they are my guys ya know. I can only hope she got some good pictures, and made sure to tell Craig that I am still his number one fan and Tracy was there so I could live through her tonight. Ohmmm!!!! She’s channeling me!!!! Oh and not only is she channeling me, she is emailing me to tell me that they played for almost 3 hours!!! OMG! I am even more jealous now, but she did talk to Craig and he remembers me, well of course he would, don’t you think you would always remember a freaky stalker?
Anyway, have an awesome Sunday and thanks so much for stopping in!
Hugs, Di
That's a really gorgeous card! I love the detailing!
These pictures are nice, however, they truly don't do your cards justice! That's what I keep saying about mine too…or at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it! You all that can't take Diana's classes in person should be jealous of those of us that can…her work is awesome!
