I thought it would be fun to try to case her creations, using most of the supplies that I received! It was so much fun! She sent Natsuko, from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, she also sent me a beautiful pack of Meadow Lark papers, but I happened to have some origami papers sitting around and they were totally crying out to me, to be used with the Asian image.
I have recently been picking up Spectrum Noir markers, and so tried to coordinate the colors of the background paper with the image. Yes, I know I cheated on the big part - the dress! That was actually paper pieced! Yes, Amanda could probably do it, but I wasn't even going to attempt to color that!
I also received the purple petals, just added a few centers to the flowers and layered them on to Spellbinder's foliage die cuts. Amanda's cards always have some Sprinkles for added sparkle. I added some Sparkling Snow glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle for my bling.
So here is my attempt at an "Amanda card":
Isn't that saying just lovely? I cut it up, so that it would fit into the smallest of the Labels Nine die cut.
Thank you so much for my goodies, Amanda. I had so much fun thinking outside "my box". Have a great day everyone,
Shona
