Art Creations Friday Challenge

My first post! I have been tinkering for some time with the idea of creating my own personal blog. This blog has been formatted for five months just sitting in my computer waiting. Today I have a reason to begin. Three friends and I have been getting together every Wednesday for three years to make cards and our work has evolved and grown greatly by working together. Recently one of my friends sent a link to "Art Creations Friday" and I felt I had found Heaven. Beautiful images to begin with and exquisite images afterwards. I am inspired to offer up my modest sample to these incredibly talented artists and hope they will let me join in the game!

I cut out the lady’s head and framed it in a circular frame – a technique I learned at www.amazingpapergrace.com; then I framed her body with a Sizzix frame die which I also embossed using Cuttlebug’s Divine Swirl. Finally I mounted the head over the body with raised foam tape and embellished with pearls. Paper from Graphics 45 – Times Nouveau Collection.
