Girl Stuff and a Little Bling

Second Post today:  Some of the challenge deadlines are near closing so I had to do another post.

I  do not make too many "Girlie" Cards but I just had to used stamps from Mark's Finest Paper You've Got Style  to create a card for a challenge to use heels, hats, and handbags and used the sketch challenge from The Kraft Journal. I threw in some punches and dies to meet some other challenges.   I stamped the handbag on white cardstock using Memento Espresso Truffle ink and then paper pieced with Kraft paper and colored with pencils and a gold metallic pen. The shoes were stamped with the same ink on Red paper and fussy cut. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with Zing EP Chestnut and cut with a spellbinders word window die. The flowers were punched with SU flower punches from paper in Fancy Pants Design Trend Setter paper pad. Cut a circle with Nesties die and stamped Wow with Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink. I assembled all the elements and just had to add red rhinestones ....what girlie card does not have Bling?  This was a fun card to create.

Lacy Dress for a Good Time

I have been trying to think what to make for Joan's Garden Challenge which is: make a Girly card  

 using pastel colors, lace, one bow, flowers, and at least one product from Joan's Gardens. I finally created this card today making a girly dress from a doily.  I learned how to make the dress at my stamping club when Brenda shared it with us. Instead of making it with a purchased doily I cut my own doily with Cheery Lynn Die called French Pastry...it cuts a 4" design which is perfect for this. (Cheery Lynn dies can be purchased at Joan's).  The skirt was made with Pink CS and the bodice was part of another pink doily lined with white CS and colored with Sukura Clear Star pen for some glitter.  I added a band of ribbon at the waist and added a bow.  To assemble the card, I used a card base of Pink CS layered with a mat of Yellow CS and then added a layer of Floral Pattern Paper from MME pad, then a strip of Dot Paper from same pad. Added a lace from stash that I colored with Pink Copic.  A strip of embossed silver Metallic (CB EF Victoria) and a Scallop Oval in the same Metallic were attached to the card.  I centered the doily dress on the oval and finished with a Prima Rose and sentiment embellishment from stash.  All solid cardstock was purchased at Joan's Garden.  I used the sketch from Sweet Sunday Challenge for my layout.  This was the second card that I made with this sketch which I really liked.

Sending Birthday Greetings Via Email

This image from Mo Manning reminds me how I start my day ....checking email on my laptop....and I may just be sending someone Happy Birthday Greetings as indicated on the card.  I printed this digital image "Checking FB" from Mo and colored it with Copics adding some glossy accents to her glasses, computer, and mug. I kept the colors very girlie with pinks and added dew drop bling for more feminine touches. What is more girlie than a pink plushy robe and plushy slippers? Used pattern papers from GKD Petals and Wings pad and solid cs from stash. Stamped sentiment from Flourish with Memento Rose Bud ink and added pink rick-rack to finish.
