It seems I have been short on time these days, so I combined 3 challenges:

F4A134 - Just Around the Corner (use corner round punch)
IC354 - Wild Things Dresses
QFTD130 - Loll Thompson

I definitely wanted to honor Loll this week, as she has a fantastic gallery. I fell in love with the layout of this card:

I changed the image, color scheme, added 2 corner round edges, and added faux stitching. On the image, I cut out a square and then on 2/3 of the square I used a Nestie Circle Die to cut around the sentiment to compliment the corner round edges.

Stef gave us a cute site for inspiration called Wild Thngs Dresses. The hat I fell in love with was this (because of the polka dots):

Thanks so much for taking a closer look. Hope you like it :)

You did a fab job on all of those challenges! I love how you made a fan shape with the corner rounder for the sentiment and flowers. :)

There's a lot going on, but it all works together nicely. I like the shape of your sentiment panel.

Barbie, this is so soft and warm, Love it all! You did an excellent job at combining all these challenges! I really like the sentiment on a curve emulating the corner rounder punch; so clever of you!

Beautiful card, Barb. Love your choice of colors. The 3-d flowers echoes your pretty flower image with the bling centers. You're becoming the queen of multiple challenge cards! : ) Not so easy to do.
