Hey, hey! This is my second post today. I'm trying to make up for lost time :)
This card is going into the following challenges ~
Unscripted Sketches #142 - this time it's a "piggy-back" challenge. The additional piece of the challenge is to create a pocket. Which I did!
CR84FN46 - the challenge colors are pink, yellow and a neutral (I chose ivory)
The photos in the challenge graphic are so pretty, aren't they? I thought of a pretty, girly, lacy card. So, that's what I created.
Yeah, this is one of those cards that took a very long time to create. But, I think it was worth it. I did some stitching on a couple of the pieces of patterned paper, including the tag. I sponged most of the edges with a bit of barely banana ink. The crocheted "pocket" is a piece of vintage doily that I bought at an estate auction. A few heart die cuts. A die cut tag to tuck inside the pocket. A bit of pink ribbon leftover from a previous project. A tiny key, a couple of gems. Then the two Crafty Secrets stickers - Love and Lovebirds. And, finally my card was finished! I'm planning to put this in my Etsy shop...but, it might be difficult to let go of it. lol !
