I am so excited to share that I won my first Close To My Heart Contest. This is the first time I have sent in for one of their monthly contests and I wasn't even sure I was happy with the card. So, imagine my surprise when they posted the contest winners and I was in the top three! What a boost! As if placing in the contest wasn't enough, you also get some nifty product credit (and with a new catalog coming out soon, who couldn't use that).
When I originally posted this card, I was asked how I achieved the "halo" affect. This is a super easy way to add some fun dimension to a project. I used a flower bigger than the one I planned to use on the front and then laid my cardstock over it and sanded the cs (with the flower beneath). Super fun! I'd love to have you try it out and then post a link to your creation for us to all ooh and ahh over.

Congratulations!! I remember being so impressed when you first posted this. Can you remind me (or link to where you first described) how you did the halo effect of the flower on the background? Thanks and congrats again!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Christine, and thanks for letting us know how you did it! I want to enter a CTMH contest, but just havent yet. Do you have to mail it in? or send a photo via email?
