*editing picture, still a grey day in the PNW. And editing to add a pic of this beauty's big sis fudging the truth. I am a sucker for collections, are you?
Vicki, you selected a simply gorgeous color combination for this weeks challenge. So very serene. I came as close as I could and added the dessert option: dots.
Can't you just image this young woman dressed and ready for an afternoon of shopping and tea on Park Avenue? She's beautiful, elegant, and pampered. Probably spoiled rotten growing up! I colored her with Copics, fussy cut the big bow on her hat and the pooch. added another layer and popped up for dimension. She is standing in front of some serious dots (I heard the trend for Spring is polka dots). I added Black Diamond tickles for her jewelry. The oval mirrors her chapeau with encouraging words.
The Tim Holtz small talk: darling, you are a work of art.
I love the word darling. My Mom has always ended her conversations with me by saying darling, I love you...and it has always made me smile and feel that mothers' love. Words stick. And no matter how old we both get, I'll always yearn to hear her say that.
Thanks for stopping by, do you have any special words that make your heart sing?

Wow, you have created quite the fashionista. Great design, elegant is what I should say. My heart sings, when I ask my grand children, Do you know I love you?.. And they always say yes, even if I don't have snacks handy. Tee Hee hee. Your card is gorgeous. tfs.

Marvelous Darling, just marvelous! What an elegant image. Love how you used the colors. The sentiment on the side is so chic. You even got the polka-dots. What a fashion statement. Love, love it! TFS

I am so sorry I didn't see this when first uploaded. I'm stalking the stamps happen gallery and stumbled upon this delightful socialite. So intuitive, so creative, darling. What beautiful words you remember from your mom. I bet you just might say the same thing to your 2 boys. We tend to pass along those childhood things/sayings that brought such joy to our hearts. Fabulous card, darling, really fabulous. Enjoy the great outfdoors in PNW, my friend.
