Sweet Hedgie!

 

This is my card for a swap called the SIS--Surprise Image Swap.   This is card #11 for our group.  It is a bi-monthly swap where we all use the same image, sent to us by the hostess.  The surprise part is that we are to not discuss the image at all until the day they are to be posted--the 18th of every other month.   The image for this round was provided by Janet.  She will swap the cards and include the new image for round #12 that Terry stamps in everyone's return envie. Then--we do it all again in December!

Janet sent everyone this sweet image from the Penny Black Sweet You set.  She included a sentiment, but I decided to leave the card blank so it could be used for any occasion. I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers. I die cut the image and backer with my Stampin' Up Circle Dies. I picked a sweet 6x6 Craft Paper called Patena. The scalloped layer behind the image and the strip is from The Paper Cut called STardream Bronze.  I added a piece of Bermuda Bay that was die cut with a border die from The Paper Cut over the metallic strip. Then, I piece of Bermuda Bay ribbon over the top.  I added some teal enamel dots for the final touch.

If you check some of the other blogs listed on my sidebars, you may find some other swappers who have posted their creations.  The due date is today, the 18th, or they may post in the upcoming days. You can also check out SCS and use the keyword SIS11 to see some posted there.  I hope everyone in the swap likes my card--and that you do too!
