{DT} - Sweet Selena

Hi my sweet blogging friends and happy Friday :-)

Oh my gosh .. I feel so bad, because I totally forgot to post my card for this weeks 'Crafts and Me Challenge' where Teresa wants to see flower(s) somewhere on your card.

You may not see it very well, but there IS a flower on my card... a teeny tiny little red 'gem' flower in 'Sweet Selena's hair ;-)

For the background of the focal point (which is Hannah Lynn's 'Sweet Selena') I used some 'Black Magic' Core'dinations Cardstock, ran it through my Big Shot using a Cuttlebug embossing folder and then sanded the embossed lines to bring out the pastel pink. I think you cannot see it properly in the picture but it's really a neat effect IRL :)

For a finishing touch I added some crinkled Caviar seam binding , added a red button and adhered the button and a metal strawberry charm to the ribbon using some pink button twine.
