Live Simply

Today I have my last card for this weeks challenge for Hero Arts.

I made this card years ago inspired by Lisa Spangler on the Hero Arts web sight.

http://www.heroarts.com/cardmaking/cardIdea.cfm?cardID=3499&catID=3
I still love to look at the card because it brings back great memories & I LOVE the design. I remember being so excited to copy the design, I read the instructions word for word and placed all the pieces in almost the exact same place as Lisa’s. I was going to copy the card I made but, went to be bed with that idea in mind. I woke up with a new design …how lucky and I couldn’t wait to get started on my new idea. I scored the window shutters to give them more depth and they actually opened & closed until I decided to affix them so the bird would stay stationary . I was worried about the birds legs and how to attach him then ended up attaching him by the tail. I colored all the elements with Copic markers then used Glossy Accents on top and before drying I placed a Gem in the middle. Have a great weekend!
Hugs,Kathy
