Nothing Says It Better Than Chocolate

YAY!!! I made another card! Even better... I didn't have to read any directions this time! LOL -- AND... I used my little Janome Sew Mini again!

Happiness is found in the little things in life, like having some control over one's hands, and being able to sit up without support.

I was especially inspired this week by the House Mouse and Friends Challenge Blog.

It is all about ATC Turnabouts. An ATC Turnabout is taking your finished ATC and placing it on a card.

The ATC was created using the House Mouse "Chocolate Delight" image. It was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and the solvent blender marker also by Prismacolor.

My card is also detailed using the Unscripted Sketches Challenge #180 Sketch.

All the Challenge links to which this card is submitted are shown below.

Here is a close-up of the Green Nugget Glitter. The base of the card is done in ivory CS. One-half inch double sided Tear-ific Tape was applied to the far right edge. The protective layer was then pulled off, exposing the ultra stickiness. Next the the sewn together background pieces were adhered, carefully lining up the punched border with the Tear-ific tape.

After the base layer was attached, the glitter was spooned on, and burnished. I like using wax paper for burnishing, unlike naked fingers, because it slides right over intricately-cut borders and die cuts.

My fingers dropped the ATC when applying it to the background, making it crooked. I tried masking that problem with hand-made flowers in the bottom left corner. LOL
