Just Because -- GD for The Sisterhood of Crafters

This is my second and final post guest designing for The Sisterhood of Crafters.   I have enjoyed my experience very much!

The theme this time is paper piecing &/or piercing.  My card has a bit of both:

The image is a digi from Sandi's Samples. It was printed 3 times.  The base was colored with Copic markers.  Two of the layers were fussy cut, then glued on to the base.  Paper piecing achieved!  The paper piercing around the edges was done with dies by Lawn Fawn.  

The papers on this card and the sentiment are from Close To My Heart.  The tie dye crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM. The butterfly was cut out with a die from Cheery Lynn.

I'd like to thank Darlene Pavlick and the rest of the Sisterhood of Crafters design team for the opportunity to be a Step Sister this month.  It's been great fun!

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:

The Outlawz Progressive Challenge -- February Freebie

D.L. Art -- February Linky Party

Sister Act Card Challenge -- ATG

Love You!

I'm guest designing today for The Sisterhood of Crafters.  This month, I am a Step Sister!  Yea! 

Our theme for the current challenge is "Sweetheart and Roses". I made the card for my sweetheart:

The rose image is from Fitztown.  It is Valentine 12. I colored it with Copic markers.  I've never had good luck with yellows before, but I think I found a blend that works for me. This is a new green combination, too.  I'm pleased with the results.

I used a Spellbinder label die in 2 sizes, some American Crafts glitter paper, My Mind's Eye designer paper, and 3 Girl JAM Simply White lace on this card. The sentiment is a Simon Says Stamp stamp.

I'll have another card later this month for the Sisterhood of Crafters.  I can't wait.  I thank Darlene Pavlick and her design team sisters for this opportunity.
