LATIN DANCERS. Two different challenges.

Hi again to you all and welcome back to my craftroom.
This card has been made to enter into the following two challenges.
www.craftyourpassionchallenges.blogspot.com Challenge #95. RED/WHITE & BLUE.
www.artwithnoboundaries.blogspot.com  LET THE DANCER IN YOU ESCAPE.

I have used red card for the base and have cut the front smaller in width than the back. I have then layered inside and outside with a gorgeous turquoise colour and all edges have a silver decorative border to highlight and show the shape of.
On the front, I have then added a red and white floral panel. Then my image which was a freebie from Digi Darlas a while ago, has been coloured with promarkers, then mounted onto a deep blue pearlised card and edged with silver. This was then positioned overlapping the edge of the front. The front was then completed with the addition of flowers and foliate.
On the inside, I made a border to co-ordinate using red card punched with the Martha Stewart MODERN GARLAND punch. Then down the centre I finished it off with blue gemstones to add texture.
I am thrilled with how this has turned out and hope you like it too.

Thank you so much for stopping by.
Love Sandra xxx

What an image that is... so liberating, it is so aptly named.
The red rose looks awesome and so does the MS border punch. The blue gemstones look perfect.
The flower with the button looks lovely too.

Hugs,

Monica

Great card Sandra, the red and turquoise look wonderful together. I love the interest you have created by cutting the front short and using a punch to make a border down the edge of the card and the flowers and gems really give it depth. Have a great weekend. :-) xx
