2 Cards for 4 Challenges




I have two cards today, and I will be submitting both of them to this week's Simon Says ...Happy Mail Challenge.






My first card follows the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch CTS#26 and uses the color scheme of this week's Play Date Cafe PDCC#180. I cut three party dresses from my new Memory Box Taylor Party Dress die, dressed them up a bit with some Diamond Stickles and they are ready to go out on the town.  I added two score lines under the middle panel.  The card just seemed to need something.  This dress is just so adorable, and I would love to find one in real life for one of my daughters.  They are both tall and slim, and they would look absolutely fabulous in a dress like this.





My next card is another entry into this week's Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge Anything Goes.  I hope that you are not tired of this sort of card--this is the third I have made since seeing it in my Pattern Play class.  I changed it up just a tiny bit, and added this adorable wooden bird from Prima.

  2. The glam on top of your dresses is fantastic! (as well as that patterned paper.) Whoever can pull off a horizontal striped dress definitely needs to get one, that's for sure. And no, so not tired of your speech bubbles ... a winning design!
