Spanish Inspiration
The challenge this week at Sugar Creek Hollow is to create a vintage or shabby chic card or other paper-crafted project with LOTS OF LAYERS.
I made this card for my daughter's 35th birthday last week - it makes me feel older just thinking about it. When she was a teenager she was a synchronized swimmer and competed at the national level. One year her music was Spanish and so her bathing suit and headpiece had to have a Spanish feel to them - lots of black, red and gold. I saw this image on The Graphics Fairy and thought it would be a great starting point and with all the black, red and the fan I think the card has a Spanish feel to it.
I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:
Digi Stamps 4 Joy - Anything Goes
Crafting by Designs - Polka Dots
Clear It Out - Theme (Circles, Stash (Anything Goes)
Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
Inky Chicks - Bingo (I used Die Cuts, Image, Flowers)
ABC Challenge - Birthday Cards
Lady Anne's Challenges - Anything Goes
Use Your Stuff - Birthday
Forever Friends - Birthdays
