This week's High Hopes challenge comes from my fabulous friend Ila, & she would like to see creative borders on our cards!! You can use punches, ribbon, distressing.....anything, really, to give your borders some oomph!
For my card this week I chose to use Miss Peggy, one of the recently new releases....isn't she a doll? I'd been seeing a lot of white on white cards lately, & realized that that was the challenge on the ATS blog this past week. I've never done a card in just one color.....well, I guess I still didn't, since I stuck some pink in there.....but I thought I'd give it a try. So I colored Peggy with my Prismas & gamsol, used the Cuttlebug paisley folder on the bottom layer, the Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder & that Martha doily lace punch on the vertical strip, & my Nesties for the image. I added some white polka dot ribbon, some Primas, & a Cuttlebug vintage corner covered in Stickles. Sure seems like this card shouldn't have taken very long.....but of course, I futzed with it & fiddled with it & 2 hours later, this was the end result, lol. There is no such thing as a quick card for me!!
