Never Lose Hope

As I write this, I honestly can't believe it's April 1st!  It seems we just started writing 2024!!!  Life just speeds along and I am grateful for each day.

I'm starting off the month with my Design Team posting for Morgan's ArtWorld Challenge for April.  I've selected her Fantasy Fae 57 image and made this card of encouragement.

 

I started by sizing the image to just under 3" and printing on 110# Neenah cardstock.  I used Copic marker for the coloring and then used a simple circle die to trim the image close to the colored edge.  

Next I added that same circle die inside the Tattered Lace Nested Beaded Chain Circle Die to make the white frame.  I also cut the second smaller die for the sentiment and stamped with coordinating navy blue ink.

I selected a 6" card base and covered the front with the multi colored marble designed paper.  Then I secured the completed image, frame and sentiment to complete the card design. 

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
