This card was created for the Friday Sketchers Challenge #52. Took me a while trying to figure out how to do this one.
This is Claudia Rosa's sketch that she's provided for the challenge. Took me a while trying to figure out how to do this one. I went searching for the tallest Tilda image that I could find to fill up that space where the image is suppose to go on. Found this one that I haven't use before, Tilda Holding Balloons.
Let me tell you that this image was not meant to be cut out. Have you ever tried to cut around a piece of string? Painstakingly time consuming!!!!! I can't believe I actually did it...well not all of it. But you know, if had to do this one all over again, I probably would have done the same thing--hee hee hee..... silly me!
I made the top semi-circle smaller than the bottom one, because I wanted to have some room at the top right hand corner to put some flowers there. My sister tells me that I have to improve on my flowers--I've been guilty of using the same type over and over. I have to use different varieties!!! So here you go, Sis!
The inside of the card .....
