Happy Sunday everyone! I can't believe a week has gone by since my last post but it's been a whirlwind...more on that in a minute. Today, I am delighted to share with you a sketch I designed for this week's Paper Players Sketch Challenge {PP40}! Here's the sketch:
and here is my card:
I liked it so much I made a second one with a Baja Breeze base and Pear Pizzazz/Greenhouse Gala designer series paper:
The details on this one are pretty straightforward but I do want to show you some close ups...I love, love, love cutting out these dress forms. I know you might be thinking "oh I hate to cut things out" but this little mannequin is so easy once stamped on Greenhouse Gala designer series paper with Early Espresso ink--all my lines are right there ready for cutting!
Isn't she "sew" sweet?! That's a bitty flower from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack in Baja Breeze with a big basic pearl in the middle. Once the pearl was attached, I just scrunched the paper up around the pearl to distress it a little.
Can't you just see giving a card with this sentiment, from Bold Blossoms, to your best girl friend? I stamped it in Early Espresso and then used the small ornate blossom from Friends Never Fade stamped off once in Pear Pizzazz behind the sentiment. And because the top left corner seemed a little neglected...
I added a little snip of Pumpkin Pie 1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon. I literally stapled this one in place...I scrunched up a little 2" piece of ribbon, stapled the bottom together and tucked it under my oval with a glue dot. Doesn't it look a bit like a jaunty scarf?!
Just a simple inside...a piece of whisper white stamped with an all-time favorite sentiment from Great Friend in Early Espresso, another Pear Pizzazz dress form and the final touch is an itty bitty flower from Cheep Talk to mimic the flower on the front.
And let me just say that she is as gracious and kind in person as you would want and expect her to be! It was a such an honor!
