Lovely & Lace

Happy Friday everyone,

Today starts a new challenge at


Our lovely, talented Cathy (Kraftykoolkat) is hosting this week
and she would like to see Lace...the real stuff, not just die cuts on your creations.

For my card share I've used the gorgeous "Lovely"
 by the fabulous Krista Smith of Saturated Canary
They are our sponsor this week and so kindly provided us with our digis.
Thank you Krista!

This glamorous gal can be found  here.
 I really enjoyed colouring this one and am finally happy with my folds.
Practice, practice, and more practice! I had a lot of time to colour while hunkered down
in the air conditioning during the recent record breaking temperatures
....that and watching the amazing Alyces' colouring video definitely helped.


 
A friend requested a birthday card for her grown daughter and I'm hoping she will like this card.
I will however have a difficult time parting with it as it's my current favourite.
 IRL it's creamier than in the photo which gives it a more vintage look.
SU Very Vanilla cardstock used....yes, I hoard that stuff!

The gorgeous lace was purchased from Buffalo Stamps on a recent visit.

The seam binding was a gift from a friend...thank you Helen!

Pleated ribbon from  The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, gold string beads from Michaels as well as the Recollections embossed gold dp.  

SB Radiant Rectangles used for the tag with Fran-táge on the edge.

I've so neglected my MS punch-around-the-pages punches lately 
so put "Embroidered Floral" to work on the card base.

Image is coloured with Copics. The dress is E50, E53, E55, E57.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
  1. Saturated Canary Challenge #48 - Glamour and Glitz
  2. Crafty Bloggers Network Challenge #13 - Metal 
  3. C.R.A.F.T. Challenge 217 - For the Girls
  4. Crafty Ribbons Challenge #54- Anything goes with ribbon
  5. Make it Monday #150
  6. Copic Markers Europe - Shabby chic
  7. MarkerPOP Challenge #27 - Lovely locks

If you like, please stop by the challenge at TPC, see the gorgeous creations made by the team and play along with us...we'd love to see you there.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Your comments are always appreciated.
hugs,
