You Are So Loved

 

Today is the 15th and this is my card this month for our The Creative Crew!  We are a group of 7--Jeanette, Carol, Darlene, Lorraine, Terry, Tracie and me. Each month will be a new challenge posed by one of the members sending out a kit. This month, Darlene sent out a sweet image from the Gina K Designs stamp set called You Are So Loved.  She also sent some die cut sentiments and other die cuts from the same set.  Darlene also included some backgrounds--and one she hand made for each of us!  She made a heart panel with Simon Hurley's Bee Sting Lunar Paste over a Gina K Designs stencil and of course I picked that one!

I colored the sweet die cut arms image with my Copic Sketch Markers. I used different colors for each of the hands as well as shades of pinks/reds for the sleeves.  I then die cut one of the panels that Darlene had stamped for us with my Gina K Designs Master Layouts 2 and added a black backer.  I then placed the die cut arms over the top of the coordinating one on the stitched panel. I die cut the heart panel with another die from the same ML2 and added a white panel  behind as a backer, though it is hard to see on the white cardbase.  I did not add any bling as I wanted the image and shiny heart panel to be the focus of the card!  I used the holographic panel on the inside of my card with a white layer for the greeting.  This was a very fun card to make!   I have this same set and cannot wait to play with it--yes, it is still unused..........

I hope all of The Creative Crew Gals enjoy my card this month.  Please be sure to stop in to see what fun crafty cards are posted this month.  All of the blogs can be found on my left sidebar.  Our teammate Lorraine does not have a blog, so please check out her card in her SCS gallery.   I am sure you will enjoy all of the fun holiday cards!

We will be back in February with another challenge that Carol will sending out.  Be sure to check in with us on the 15th to see what fun is planned!
