Using Florina from Art by Miran for my DT Submission Post!

 I've been privledged to serve on several Design Teams during the years and every so often was thrilled that the sponsor would be Art by Miran!  Ohhh to get my hands on those wonderful images.  Always artistic and graceful, they just put a smile on my face and were a joy to place on my projects!
This is one that I've particularly enjoyed coloring called Florina.  While she is definitely the focal point of the card, I wanted to use colors that would compliment her. On the inside of the card, again a beautiful floral print-great for a Birthday card and Florina's gorgeous green eyes.
The reason that I'm posting this digital from the past is that this great site is announcing a DT call and I would like to be considered.  Their images are always beautiful and would be a joy to work with-I feel that it would be a privilege to showcase them on any of my projects.  Hopefully, they will think I'm worthy of joining their group!  Thanks for visiting my blogspot!

Art by Miran Sponsors Southern Girls Challenge=Shine Like the STAR you are!

I'm SO pleased to finally get to use an image from
Art by Miran-one of my All Time Wishes!!  This one is called Florina and I love images that go off the page like this one. **sigh** Was such fun to color!  It was so cool that they were sponsoring Southern Girls Challenge these 2 weeks with a Theme of STAR(s).  I KNOW you're looking for it!!  Well, just over the round tag, you will see one of my charms in the shape of a STAR-in fact, it says Movie Star on it!  I used a 5.75 x 5.75" square card blank from The Paper Cut.  This is a great site to get pre-scored card blanks in all kinds of assorted cuts -even swing card blanks!  There blanks have a great weight to them and are so smooth to the touch.  Of course, envelopes to match!  Then a purple mat with a striped design paper on top.  The alternate patterned paper is roughed around the edges with a Tim Holtz distress tool and then I penned the stitch lines on it.  The ribbon is threaded through a top slot in the crease and wrapped to the inside.  The sentiment is just one I had from my stash.  I'm so glad you stopped by and took a look!  Come and join us in our challenge!
