When I read the challenge I think I cried!! I tried making a shaped card a couple of weeks ago and I went through about ten sheets of card stock and never could do it. I decided to take a deep breath and go for it again. I decided to play it a bit safe and go with a circle card. Even that was a challenge for me. So now I know what I need to work on!!
This week I chose a set I have wanted to color for so long...Apple of My Eye. I just love these apples, I also love all the other images with this set they are just fabulous. I had a great time coloring these apples and trying different shading colors.
Now it's time to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the design team ~ Cindy, Heather, Maki, Tammy, Silke, Beate and Betty.
Recipe:
Image: Flourishes (Apple of My Eye and Berry Sweet - sentiment)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Papers: Close To My Heart (Wings)
Accessories: ribbon (stash)

Theresa, I didn't mean to make you cry!!! I love making square and circle cards and thought this would be an easy peasy challenge.

This is a Fabulous card!!! Don't ever feel like you don't make great cards, your doing a Wonderful job this month, I've loved Everyone of them!! Trust me, I felt like that my shaped cards were so tough to decorate, but as you start playing more with them, you get the hang of it ;) This is a Perfect card, and I LOVE your image you cut out - That takes time & dedication!! It is so worth it because that's my favorite part! :)
You rocked it, Theresa, even if it did give you fits :) I've never been happy with the shaped cards I make either, and I bet it really is all about practice. It usually is :)
I'm trying to isolate the element I love most in your card, and I can't pick one - your colouring is gorgeous, and the ribbon & papers complement the image so perfectly.
