Today I'm Thinking of You

Especially when Squigglefly offers us a new challenge this week!  The theme is ANYTHING GOES with 2 guides:  use a Squigglefly image and the sentiment is "Thinking of You."
My card today features a digi image from artist Diana Garrison.  It is an August new release, along with so many other fabulous images.

I was continuing my ruthless clean-out of my craft room, and when I reached into a photo box labeled "paper" I pulled out this gorgeous  double-sided black and white patterned paper.  Using a Nestabilities die, I framed my Copic-colored image onto black cardstock.  The result?  PLAIN!

So I fussy-cut from the other side of my pp a coordinating border, but the card still missed its mark.  Adding a row of pearls and a stick pin for embellishment helped, but it wasn't until I used my white gel pen to hand draw patterns onto the background that it came together.

I added a charm to the image's bud vase, as well as a tiny bit of Stickles, to finish off my card.

So how about you finish off a card using a Squigglefly image and enter it into the Squigglefly Challenge blog for a chance to win a free digi! Go check out the Squigglefly Facebook page for some inspiration, too!

I loved reading how you made this Pat. I never would have guessed that you hand drew on the paper! Whatever you did or should I say 'all you did' was perfect and your card looks amazing! Those cookies are calling to me too . . .

So pretty and elegant. I hope whoever thinks of me with cookies around makes sure to send me some or invite me over - LOL! This is a great way to use this image and how fun you "found" some paper you didn't remember you had! Beautifully done Pat! Hugz!
