a shaped 3D card!!

This is a shaped card that I made following this tutorial
http://blog.silhouetteamerica.com/2012/05/shaped-card-bases.html

this shape is the marigold #19699.  I cut all of it out of plain yellow paper.  And it looked, well, plain.  So after looking at it a few days (and trying to get to my drawer of brads upstairs).  I finally worked on it some more.  I simply used my kids' skinny markers to add flecks of orange and brown to the petals and it really made them pop.  They are finished with a simple gold brad.  It's been a busy week here.  Between working, kids, volunteering and trying to get stuff organized to become a tiger den leader it's been crazy. Expect some tiger crafts soon!
