Okay, this card is going into two challenges for this week.
The MIM video over at Nichole's blog
http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/ shows a really neat technique this week-- how to use an Impression Plate on only part of your cardstock. This is something that I have done quite often with Embossing Folders and love the finished look.
The second challenge is for Card Positioning Systems. I like working with sketches and this one lends itself to so many variations, I am sure to be using is again.
Check out the DT cards and all the other entries here:
