Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog #17 - Anything Goes

Another month and another challenge at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog.  This year has flown by and so many life changes this year.  I'm just getting back from Disney and had a wonderful time with the younger kids.  Liam is now 3 :o( He got to see all his favorite characters for his birthday.  One happy baby boy :o)

Time to get on with the challenge, it's a favorite.......Anything Goes!  This challenge is being sponsored by My Crafty Heart.  The winner will receive £10 voucher (approximately $16)  to the store.

Here is my card for the challenge:

It's a birthday card for my brother's better half.  I really like her, because she keeps him in line.  Even a retired Navy Chief needs to be put in his place at times and she can put up with him.  She is a classy lady and lets you know she is the queen.  She also believes that you have a birthday month to celebrate.  I used MFT DG Party Time image and the sentiment came from Unity - All Hail the Queen Bee.  The funny thing, my brother bought her a card, it also said "All Hail the Birthday Queen".  We all know who's the boss.

This is the first time I tried the 3-D layer effect.  It's not perfect, but I want to try again with a different image maybe.  It's like putting a puzzle together, but you make the puzzle then put it together.  I found this amazing woman, Mariska who has it down to a science and has wonderful tutorials.  It always amazes me the talent out on blogland.  (I think I would do the head differently next time.  It's all about learning)  I know Mariska like to color the back image black or grey, but I realized I liked coloring it the same color.  Just have to play with it. 

Give it a try and enter the Anything Goes challenge at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog.

thanks for looking and reading :o)
