Enjoy the moment

Here's my last card for the SCS Hope challenge. Nothing like the last minute huh. I have really enjoyed creating all of these wonderful card for such a great reason and hope ya'll have enjoyed them too. I still plan on making a few more the Caring Heart Card Drive since I have until the 15th to do those. For my last card I used a Greeting Farm Anya image. I found inspiration for the colors through the last SCS Hope challenge which required us to go to the Etsy Treasury. My inspiration came from me searching for books and finding this. My card may not be all that soft and romantic (except for maybe the tissue paper flower I made) but I got my colors from there. I had so much fun making this one and evey used some hardware that I've been hording for ever and a day, lol.


The flower I made is tissue paper that I punched out, sprayed with a varity of orange glimmer mist, crinkled up, and kept it all together with a bling brad. I had to be very gentle with it as once the mist was on the paper kept wanting to tear. The flower itself is six layers. I also stamped my sentiment on som vellum so tht the background could still be seen (I am really liking that particular technique).




Anya was colored with my copics and I attempted to give her scarf some texture with the blender pen and her eyes some eye shadow (my first attempt at that). They both turned out subtle, but I think it turned out ok just something I'll need to practice more.

Challenges used:
Cute Card Thursday: gently does it (use vellum and/or tissue paper)
One Stop Craft: embossing (I embossed the damask on the first layer)
Color Me Copic: face/makeup coloring
SCS HYCCT31: The Great Escape (be inspired by a Treasury list at Esty), I was inspired by here.
