Twisted Card #052 "FRAME"

Happy Saturday Everyone! Today Twisted Sketches has revealed the newest card sketch #052 with "frame" as the twist. Let me just say that when I first saw the sketch I thought it looked rather complex for just a card. Man was I wrong! I created this card for Nancy (my artsy cousin) and for some crazy reason it came together so smoothly. I would have to say this is my favorite card I have made to date. It is fun to create for Nancy as she truly understands every painstaking detail I put into everything I make.

Onto the details...I started with a square card base and covered it with Doodlebug Designs pink glitter dots paper (love this stuff!). To create the vertical band down the center, I punched some Bazzill aqua cardstock with my Martha Stewart Deep Fan edge punch. I then put vintage yellow tickets on top. To create the bracket, I simply used the actual sketch for the template using LUXE's Sprinkles Bell Bottoms paper (what a fun name!). The focal point of the card is definitely the baroque frame that I absolutely adore! I found it in the $1 section at Michael's! It is resin and has lots of fun texture/detail. To give it even more dimension, I dry brushed some light pink paint over the top and love the way it turned out. :) As for the ultra fabulous vintage aqua flower button and the super cute black bird clip, I received those from Tiffany. (One of my partners in the recent Box Swap that I participated in.) So fun! Lastly, I topped it off with a vintage "N41" bingo marker. The N stands for Nancy and I'm sure you can figure out the rest! :)

I think I have just about covered every fun detail. Please be sure to check out Anam's fantabulous sketch and the other amazingly creative cards at http://www.twistedsketches.com/! You will be glad you did!
