Compendium of Curiousities 2 challenge #26

Two challenges in a roll! Woo hoo!! I wanted to make a card for a friend who just beat cancer (praise the Lord!!) She has been through so much but is now okay! We are celebrating. The CC challenge over at Linda's blog Studio L3 was the perfect opportunity. Each week she features a technique out of the pages of Tim Holtz's book A Compendium of Curiosities, Vol. 2. This week it was Crumpled Kraft Suede on page 40. I incorporated the "suede" as the green background paper behind the flowers and shapes:





This week there is a prize hosted by The Funkie Junkie Boutique. I encourage you to go look at all the cool artwork people have been linking up at Studio L3. It's inspiring!
