Calander Girl January Challenge "Miss June"

Hi all, Here I am again with my challenge card for January. I am part of a wonderful, talented blogging group and we call ourselves    "the Calander Girl's". Miss January, (aka, Jeanette), challenged us this month to make a card or anything but a card, that reflects our month. We also needed to incorporate our favorite embellishment and our newest crafting toy (not purchased for this card). So here we go.....I chose to make a card. Since I am "Miss June" I tried to incorporate as many things as I could that related to June and hopefully not overwhelm the card. First off the birthstone for June is a "pearl" (I know that one as my birthday is in June). On my card I have several pearls surrounding my bride. Typically they say June is the month for brides and weddings. (My image is a digital from Sassy Studio Designs)...June's flower is a rose, which I have used to offset the pretty bride. For the base of my card I used SU shimmer paper. I used the QuicKutz frame embossing folder (my newest toy) as a background for my bride. If you haven't guessed by now....my favorite embellishment is "GLITTER". I colored my bride first with copics and then painted over her dress with white lumiere to give it the look of white satin. I then used stickles to highlight her bodice and the folds of her skirt. I used red stickles for her boquet and hairpiece and accented them with green stickles for the flowers. I had a fun time making this card. I hope you like it.

                                                                       Thanks for stopping by.
                                                                    Have an awesome weekend.
                                                                             Hugs,
                                                                             Carol

Oh my goodness... Carol, your card is ravishingly beautiful! Sooooooooooo many details (each one focused on June) and such beauty. As Barb said, it is breathtaking. You always create amazing cards, and this one is definitely one of your best.

hmmmmmmm... think I'll run an ad in the paper: Husband needed! Must get hitched soon in hopes that I'll receive a Carol Original wedding card.

Well done, Miss June!
