When I first looked at the evening dress for the IC108 challenge I thought she needs a matching handbag. "Lightbulb" :-)
So here is my entry. It was a fair bit of trial and error to get the top portion right. I tried Floral BG in Goldrush on: Vanilla (too light), Barely Banana (too dark). Then I tried Floral BG on Brushed Gold cardstock in: craft White (too light), versamark (did I stamp it yet? I can't see anything...)
Finally I tried Floral BG on Brushed Gold cardstock in Vanilla craft. Ah, just what I'm looking for. Covered it in Iridescent Ice ep. Viola! Shimmer and shine I've been after. Then used Qbee's gift purse template from SU!'s 5-in-1 card envelope. Here is that link - Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Stamped Flowers of Gratitude (did anyone ever notice that these are the exact same flowers as the ones on the Floral BG stamp?) in Colorbox Goldrush and empbossed with II ep. Purposely left dusting of ep all over cardstock and heated from the underside so I ended up with shimmer all over. Used one of my monogram buttons as a clasp and gold ribbon for the strap.
Okay, now she's ready to toast the new year! TFL. Cyndi
