When I saw this picture, I immediately thought of a Meljen's Design image that I won in a recent hop and haven't had a chance to use. The image is called Love Sprouts and you can find it at the Whimsy Stamps store.
I created the background panel with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Frost and Patina. I used frost first and it was much darker than I thought it would be, so I sprayed Patina over the top of it. I used Stampin' Up Orchid Opulence ink to sponge over the top of the glimmer mist once it was dry. It has so much sparkle and shine!
I used the Retro Squares embossing folder by QuicKutz to lightly emboss the background. (The QuicKutz folder needs a shim when I use it in the Cuttlebug. I just left the shim out.) I thought it looked a lot like the windows in the door!
I colored the image with Stampin' Up markers and cut it out. I left the stems free to add dimension to the card. I used both turquoise and lavender sheer ribbon to create the bow.
The challenge this week at Wee Memories is Anything Goes. I am entering this card in that challenge as well.
Card measures 4.25" x 5.5"
