Our challenge was to create a card using a photograph or a picture from a magazine or any other picture we wanted.Sounded easy enough! Right. Well I found it way more difficult to do. after deciding on my picture it took me "forever" to put my project together. This is the picture I chose for my card
I don't recall where I got this picture from but I just love the colors and the refection in the water, and here is the card I created!
The base is craft card stock 5.5 x4.25 the pattern paper is from my scraps pile I cut a scalloped oval with a large Sizzix Framelits Die
the ribbon is from Joann's the maple leaves were punched with a leaf punch from Creative memories and distressed a bit to give them a little dimension.The sentiment was stamped with tuxedo Black ink with an stamp from one of My Creative Time stamp sets.Glue dotted a couple little green buttons and drew a line one the card stock with a red gel pen around the
patterned paper.
