DT Wild Orchid Crafts - Challenge #66: Anything Goes

Happy New Year!

I can't believe it's 2013!!!
I'm sorry for being so abcent lately, but a lot have happened in my life the last few months.
Me and hubby split up nearly 3 months ago, I got another part time job, bought myself a house, and me and my kids moved in to our new home the first week of January!
I don't have my crafting stuff here yet, and I got internet access just the other day, so there's still gonna be some time until I'm back on track, I think ;)

I missed the latest challenge at Wild Orchid Crafts, but for our Challenge #66 (that ends tomorrow) we had this theme for you:

ANYTHING GOES!
Remember there's a new challenge coming up on Monday!

Anyway - Here's the card I made for the Challenge #66, a Wedding Card I made earlier in 2012, ordered by a collegue of mine.

The card is very much inspired by my very talented DT-friend Malin, but somehow I'm not quite satisfied with the result....

Easel Card

Size: 6" x 6"

Ink: Archival Ink - Jet Black, Adirondack - Mushroom, Distress Ink - Tattered Rose & Pumice Stone.

Stamps: Norsk Stempelblad - Sentiment, Stempelglede - Grunge Heart Collection.

Papers: Maja Design - Vintage Summer Basics, Bazzill - light beige & peechy pink cardstock, sketch paper.

Tools: Marianne Design - birdcage & frame dies, Magnolia - DooHickey butterfly die.

Embelishments: Wild Orchid Crafts - Wild Rose 25 mm, Open Paper Roses 10 & 15 mm, Semi Open Paper Roses 8 mm, Rosebuds 4 mm, Sweetheart Blossoms, White Mulberry Leafs, Pearl Spray, Self Adhesive Pearls & Paper Heart Doilies, Panduro - foam letters, Making Memories - tiny rectangle letters.

Thank you so much for all your support, nice comments and inspiration during the year of 2012!

Wishing you all the best for the year of 2013!

Big hugs, Lena Katrine
