    Weekly-Favorite

    Congrats to my friend and fellow DDIC Team member, Anne, who is the Featured Stamper today at Splitcoast Stampers! I had a fun stroll through her extensive gallery and finally picked Antique Moss to case. I liked the soft color and the way the frame reminded me of icing on one of those elaborate wedding cakes. That being said, it looks like I changed most everything. I changed the colors, the image, the layout. I did keep the texture and softness of the color.

    The  scripture is a new image from Our Daily Bread designs in their Confirmation set.  I stamped it w/ the lightning black ink and stamped the dove w/ the soft sand ink over it. If y’all saw the new Spellbinders dies last week, you would have seen a beautiful new cross die. Since I don’t have that fantastic die, I tried to create my own cross by putting pieces together. I started w/ a long rectangle die and resized it. Then I cut the middle section of the Fleur de lis die and four of the individual Fleur de lis and arranged them all as shown.

    I layered all the white w/ some vanilla, tan and dp. I added the ribbon and a pearl button w/ the shank removed. Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Party Dress

    ic170-party-dress-2144a
    I didn’t have a chance to do Saturday’s Inspiration challenge at SCS until today. But I really needed a birthday card for a little girl and I knew when I saw this Party Dress and remembered the template from Paper Craft Mag’s website, that this was the card I wanted to make.

    I printed out the pattern, then enlarged to 108% and cut one on white 12 x 4.5 c/s (folded in half lengthwise). I cut another front only out of the dp. Then I cut an apron out of vellum and ran it thru the CB w/ the Swiss dots folder. I used a white Permopaque marker around the edges.

    I cut a narrow band out of white and used the mini scallop scissors on top and bottom. I placed this behind the vellum then attached ribbon on top. That stupid little bow took me over half an hour to tie. I think I’ve mentioned before, I suffer from SRD (severe ribbon dysfunction).

    The bottom of the card also has a mini scallop border. I attached the apron/ribbon to the dp dress then attached this to the card. I made a little collar w/ the mini scallop scissors and pierced around the edge then attached it to my dress. Drops of liquid pearls were added as buttons.
