Windows



Today's card is for Rainbow Lady's Challenge, which required windows on your creation. I was completely stumped until my neighbour came in and asked me to make her daughter a birthday card. Apparently, she loves purple - not that you would have guessed that would you! I got out my cd's and had a browse until I came upon this picture from the Joanna Sheen Pamela West cd. I used my oval nesties to cut out the centres of the smaller photos and layered them up pyramid style. The backing paper came from a special offer promotion from Crafter's Companion ages ago. I mounted the main image onto some purple holographic card and pale lilac stardream. I didn't have enough of the white and silver organza ribbon to do much with, so I tied it into a loose double knot and then glued the ribbon roses onto it. I edged the paper with peel off borders which I coloured with those peel off pens, I did the same with her name. Thanks for stopping by my blog today and for any comments which are always greatly appreciated. Beryl x
