ABC Challenge - "T is for Two"

Hello friends! Can you believe that it's already July 15th! Before you know it the kids will be back to school and the lazy hazy days of summer will be over.

Today I have my final card for the ABC Challenge as a guest designer. It has been a wonderful journey for the past 3 months and at times a bit of a challenge too!

This week our sponsor is "The Paper Shelter" and the theme is T is for Two! So we want to see two of something on your card. Two embellishments, two images, two flowers, two dp's...just two of something! So I invite you to play along with us.

For my card I chose this delightful digital image called Cute Dress Maker. I have a wooden board that sits up over a window in my studio. My daughter gave it to me years ago and I love it. It is a country style and says "A day hemmed in prayer seldom unravels" and I decided it was the perfect sentiment for this cute image...



Here is a little closer view of my coloring...



The dp's I used are from my stash, the silver corner adorner is from my BFF in SA Paola (actually I think she sent me the paper as well). Thanks so much Paola for sharing your "stuff" with me. The lace and ribbon are also from my stash. The pretty flowers are new from WOC and I'm lovin'em! The Sentiment is on SB Labels two die.

So here is the artistic view of my card. I only did the front and will go back at a later date and fill in the rest of the card.



Thanks for dropping by and leaving your comments...blessings to you all...Barb
