Welcome to another PIP Challenge - #1718 !!
As always the theme is anything goes ! Our sponsor is MHK Designs and all you have to do is go to the PIP Challenge Page and link up your current project image :) MHK has generously provided the images for this week's challenge inspirations and they are giving our winner free images too!!
I am a farm girl and I just fell in love with this vintage image! It & the sentiment are perfect for my dear friend whom I don't get to see much, so next best thing . . . happy mail :)
I am new to digital stamping so I thought I would share some of the things I like best about it. It is really pretty amazing how you can make an image whatever size you'd like. For this card I set out purposefully to combine several images and on different scales. I wrote notes on the photos so just CLICK ON THEM TO ENLARGE FOR EASIER READING if your interested. The program I use is outdated, but I can really do a lot with it. I'm sure there are even more options with newer programs, so you'll have lots of fun exploring that!! |

I used a couple of uncommon elements - extra wide gold crepe paper under the image and also in the flower, paired with tulle. The green pattern paper is actually a napkin from a friends shower. (I love this color ~ I wish I could've taken a stack of them!!!)
I had a little fun with the back of the card instead of the traditional open close card. I die cut the edge of a triangle and put it down as a pocket, then inserted a note card. I'm frugal & I thought if Cris wants to re-gift it, this way she could. {{ I hate the thought of homemade cards getting thrown away!!! }}
