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.

Wow Joyce, my jaw literally dropped when I saw your first card. That is so very striking and stunning. I LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteAnd your second card is so cute. I love the word bubbles.
