Just a quick card post this morning. This is a retirement card for a female police officer. I have had these tiny little handcuffs for forever and they turned out to be perfect for this card, definitely not a conventional card but I think it works.

I used my fabulous My Mind's Eye  Fall in Love designer paper and layered it on burgundy cardstock. I used foam tape to pop up the different layers. The sentiment is embossed with a burgundy embossing powder to give it a little gloss. I finished by adding the flowers, bow and cuffs.


Supplies: Cream and burgundy cardstock, Designer Paper-My Mind’s Eye, Inkadinkado- Destination, Offray – Hot rage(cuffs), Offray flowers, misc pearl and ribbon.

Cheers,
Nina

    What an "arresting" card *snort* It definately "captured" my attention.

    On the serious side, its fabulous. I think you gave me a slice of that paper you used top left and bottom right squares, correct? Is that the mind's eye?

    Love it! Love you!
