CYCI #66 Designers Choice Challenge


                                         

Hey there! This week has been crazy with kids, school, horses and of course a little me time!
It is my second week on the Design Team for CYCI and I must say I think my card last week was easier to figure out! Sometimes I have a way of OVER thinking my cards, and other times it is a total card making epiphany...  While discussing with Justin what I should do this week we both kept saying "Barb Wire and Roses". Because you will learn, that is me!



This beautiful card started with a standard A2 Base in Basic Black Card Stock matted with the Brushed Gold Card Stock, with a finishing layer of Very Vanilla Card Stock stamped with the background stamp I Love Lace in Memento Tuxedo Black. I then stamped the barb wire from the set Yee-Haw using Versamark then heat embossed it in Stampin' Emboss Gold Powder and used  the coordinating die from Dies By Dave. The pretty Brushed Gold Card Stock label was made by fussy cutting one of the Fun Frames Embossing Folders out with our Paper Snips. The sentiment is from the Unity Stamp Company set called Day Made I heat embossed it with Black Stampin' Emboss Powder. Yes, I know the Very Vanilla Flower Trim is retired!! But I have a huge stash thanks to Tina Riddle and Justin Krieger! My finishing touch was putting pearls on the I Love Lace background as well as on the barbwire!

Thank you all for stopping by! Make sure you check out my new team mates Tina Riddle, Maggie Mata and Holly Stene!! I am so lucky to be surrounded by so much creativity!!
Have a great rest of your weekend!
