Daring Cardmakers ~ Chasing Cars Challenge

Good Monday Morning, Friends!!!  Here I am back again with another project for a Daring Cardmakers challenge!  This week's challenge really was a challenge for me, because the theme is to base a card on the lyrics from a song that I have never, ever heard!  Of course they provided a link to the lyrics, but not knowing the song made it a little bit harder!

But that said, I am IN LOVE with this card!  It could be because it's made with some new goodies I bought at Altered Angel last weekend, but I truly do love it!   Here is my take on this week's challenge . . .

And here are all of the details . . .

The Blueprint:  Make a card based on the lyrics of the song 'Chasing Cars' by Snow Patrol.  Click on the link to see the lyrics.

The Supply List:

• Card base by The Paper Studio
• Patterned papers are all from Prima's Madeline Collection 'Skyward' and 'Parfait'
• White cardstock by Georgia Pacific for sentiment
• Frame by Tattered Angels
• Flowers are Prima Sugar Plum Roses 'Caribbean'
• Stickles 'Platinum
• Green cardstock is from The Paper Studio
• Brown ink from Stampabilities
• Beacon 3 in 1 All Purpose Craft Glue

The Tools:

• Rotary Cutter (Carl PRT-100)
• Scissors
• Craft Knife
• Scoring Tool

The lyrics I chose from the song

The Construction:

• Trim base paper to fit card (5" X 7"); adhere with glue
• Ink edges with brown ink
• Cut top patterned paper to 3 3/4" x 5 3/4"
• Glue top patterned paper to script paper (reverse side of top patterned paper) and trim to just larger than top paper
• Ink edges with brown ink
• Glue patterned paper to green cardstock and trim to size
• Glue matted patterned paper to base of card
• Ink frame with brown ink, then remove paper from back to reveal self adhesive side, and adhere to top of card
• Line outer edge of frame with Stickles 'platinum'
• Print words onto white cardstock
• Cut words from sentiment and ink edges with brown ink, then glue to card
• Trim two butterflies from design on base paper, score where wings meet body and fold up
• Ink edges with brown ink, then glue butterflies to frame, line outer edges with Stickles 'platinum'
• Glue flowers to frame

And there you have my card!  I really think it's lovely and can think of several occasions when it would be perfect to send to someone!  Thanks for visiting today, and please come back soon!  Blessings, Becky
