Another quick Friday post

I'm at MY computer now so I can post these pics of this card! Woohoo! I participated in two challenges with this card. The first challenge was from Secret Crafters Saturday to use 3 ribbons, and the second challenge was from Twisted Thursday to use something clear (I used rhinestones), use the free digi image, and use their sketch. So here's the card: I based the whole color scheme off the christmas papers I got from a BIG pack of papers I bought from Taylor of Taylored Expressions. I totally scored with the pack! But more about that on another post. I really wanted to have the main image matted, so I used a top note cut with my Big Shot! Here is how I did it: First I die cut the Top Note shape in Really Rust cardstock. Then I cut the middle out of it as you can see here:

Next I lined up the two end pieces to make sure they would line up nicely as you can see here:

Sorry it's so blurry. Finally, I placed my main image on the pieces to make sure it was right:

WaaLaa! I worked! I then gluedthe two pieces of the top note togeter, glued a piece of ribbon over the seam to hide it (and for a little extra decor), then I stuck the main image on with foam tape. Cool yeah?

That's it for this late-night post. Angel in cuddling in my lap trying to sleep but my typing is keeping her up so I need to get off this machine.

Until next post, be blessed!
