This card is for the Ways to Use it Challenge - I have used the colour green along with pink, which I really like together....actually I have made 2 cards in 2 different colours with green and would be interested to hear which one you like.
These cards are for the Boutique that buys my cards, it is called the 'Shabby Attic' and is very French Provincial/Shabby Chic, so I love making cards it as they are my favourite style of cards to make...but every now and then the owner asks for funky/quirky....so there is always variety to keep me from getting bored - not that I have ever suffered from boredom!!
My DH cased down this set of stamps for me on eBay as they were retired and nowhere to be seen in Australia...so they came across from America and now are well and truly Australian residents.
I have chalked the dresses and popped the spotted one up on 3D glue dots and added nail bling to the flowers on the dresses. I have also inked over the embossed card to give it more textureand depth. Finally I added a double row of scalloped border.
Thanks for looking, I am always interested in your comments and would love to hear which colours you prefer!

very pretty. love the idea of pop-dotting the main image. I love to do that. love your coloring. Glad you were able to snatch up this set from the U.S.-you have already put it to good use.
Really liked your card...the colors are fresh and spring like and the overall layout was clean and sharp...no wonder a shop sells your art!!! Thanks for sharing with us....

Great card. The ribbon and polka dot dress really compliment each other. I also like the tilted image. Your other dress card is nice too, but this one really stands out.
