Let's go four wheeling....

We always need a masculine card, don't we? Well, this one fits the bill.  The card is Early Espresso.  I layered it with Not Quite Navy that I ran through the Square Lattice embossing folder. 

I took a 3" Cajun Craze square and cut it in half diagonally.  Then I layered it with triangles of the Well Worn designer series paper.

The center 4-wheeler is from the Need for Speed stamp set.  That is a wonderful set because it had a fast boat, car, plane and 4-wheeler---all great for cards for men and boys!  I colored it with my aqua painter and ink pads.

The sentiment "spoil yourself today" is from the Bring on the Cake stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today!! Smiles, Laura

Dancing Dress....

Tammy Howell first designed this dancing dress (or tutu,if you will) and I thought it would be a fun card to make for Jessica.  I decided to use purples for my card.  I sponged Elegant Eggplant on vellum paper for the skirt and then punched it out with the largest flower in the Blossom Petals punch.   I used a smaller petal on that punch to make some Pink Pirouette cardstock petals for the top layers of the skirt. 

I punched the top of the dress from Eggplant cadstock using the Round Tab punch.  I punched the curved neckline using the 1" circle punch.  Then I put pearl Jewels around that curve.  I added a 3/8" ribbon around the waist.

 Here is a closeup of the sentiment.  It was punched from Eggplant, Pirouette and white cardstock using the Wide Oval, 1-3/8" Circle and Scallop Oval punches.  The sentiment is from the Bring On The Cake stamp set.

 I think this is a neat idea for a dress.  I know Jessica will love this one!!
