There are some beautiful entries for this challenge contest. I've put something together here using SU Parisian Summer DSP. I used the SU Carte Postale greeting "Merci" to kind of go along with the Parisian theme!!! Aren't I so smart??? NOT!!!
As usual, this card took me to places I never planned to go. I was utterly shocked when I finished it because I had all the papers together and couldn't make it work. Usually if I hang with it long enough or take a little break, it works its way out. I think it did on this one considering how it looked about 1/2 hour before I finished it. I finished it off with some pretty sparkly gold ribbon on 2 corners lined with gold beads. That was kind of an after thought.
I hope you enjoy it and if you have a quick moment in your busy day, let me know what you think!!!
Good luck to everyone who participates in this challenge contest!

Girl, I could get started on a card at 6 am and at 6 pm, it still wouldnt look anything like this. Your card is just beautiful. Very creative and unique. Your creation reflects the best of who you are ... talented and caring. Now, let me ask you, what could be better than that?

What, no father's day cards? Now that's surprise. Just kidding. Silly Pam, this is precious, but it's hard for me to believe it only took you .5 hour. Each of the monstrosities I create take 2/3 hours sometimes even 2-3 days. I'm impressed. This is really gorgeous; it's one of those like wow kinda cards. Love all the embellishments. Everything ties together so beautifully. Great card.
