This week at Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge Blog our wonderful sponsor is Dazzling Ace Designs!!!! Of course it's always Anything Goes but this week with an optional twist - Embossing!!! 

I loved the image "In My Thoughts" sew much, I decided to use it for this card also:

RECIPE and SUPPLIES:

• Recollection black for size A2 card with scraps for the background
• background was embossed with Cuttlebug Embossing Swirl Border
• I wanted this to look vintage and colored lightly on her bow with Prisma Colored Pencil like I had seen earlier pictures of my grandmother that had been "colorized"
• corners were cut using the built-in Essentials in my E2 to give the illusion this is an antique photo album to finish my card

A dear friend of mine is going through a very rough time as her 36 year old son is dying of cancer. When I saw this image, I just knew it was the perfect image to use to make a card for her.

RECIPE and SUPPLIES:

• black Recollection cardstock size A2 card with Black/White Recollection Collection
• image was chalked around the edges
• 2 layers of of scrap paper were cut using Martha Stewart Eyelet Border Punch
• eyelet ribbon was added and then additionally tied into a bow
• Miriam's Crafting Supplies Bronze Heart Flourish Charm was added
• to add a personal note on the inside, I used the same background paper that I had used on the front of the card with black Recollection cardstock with faux stitching using white gel pen
