Precious Moments Congratulations card

Hi everyone!

Sister Act card challenge blog have a new challenge starting and I am proud to be a guest designer for the month of July. Their challenges each week are always anything goes so that makes it nice and easy to join in. Just click on their name to be taken to their blog and join the fun.

My card is made with a Precious Moments image, thought it was cute for an engagement or wedding. I coloured these images a long time ago hence a few issues with his shirt & jeans etc lol but I then used some Dimensional Magic on them so they are glossy.

The gorgeous vine and leaves are part of a set and come from Flourish with a Bling. You can also purchase the pearls here too (in 16 different colours).

Cali girl card

One of my favourite artists is Hannah Lynn, this is one of her images (image name is Cali Girl), isn't she a beauty? You can buy them at Crafts & Me (click on name to be taken to the store).

I am also using a favourite embellishment on this card too, a Flourish with a Bling Jack vine in olive green. It also comes in green, forest green and black (click on red name to be taken to the store). I made the background paper with cardstock, texture paste, ink and a brick wall template. It's very difficult to see it's a "brick" feature on this card as I have layered over most of it but I like the overall shabby/distressed effect.
