Building Character

This is a common phrase around our home. It has been since I was a little girl. Everything we did (it came out most commonly when we didn't want to do something) was always to "build our character". I have had this fabulous set from My Favorite Things that had that great quote, so I knew it was for me.

This is my second week with Color Q. I really like the great colors. Although I am on the later side of this challenge, check out the site as they will have another great one coming soon! Here is the color combo challenge.
Here is my card.

I also combined this with the MFT challenge to use book paper or music sheets. Isn't this fun? I really like how this card turned out. I bought an old book from a local antique shop and ripped out a page to run through the big shot. I then had to do some weathering with my new distress ink and foam applicator. I also used this on every layer of the card.

I first colored the main image with copic markers and then cut it out and poped it up with stampin dimensionals. The border punch I used on the new leaf section was a apron one from fisckars. I added the fun hibicus burst twill ribbon and buttons to finish this card off.

It's a good life!
