Challenges:
A while back, I made this CARD. When I started cleaning up, I found two pieces of the designer paper left over and very small piece of the pink paper that looked like underwear. I just had to keep those pieces for a card. Well today's the day.
I cut the layers for the front of the card and printed the sentiment using my computer. Once the layers were added, I added the panties and underwear and added gems to the outside and the hearts for the inside.
Now to figure out who I could possibly send this card to...LOL!
