It's a fantastic contest you ought to check out!!! Somehow, for the 2 MM uploads I keep going French!! Don't know why. I guess they bring out the "French" in me. Wait a minute, I don't have any French in my me, but I visited France 3 years ago. Maybe that's what it is!!! LOL!!!
I'm not totally happy with the outcome of my card, but it is what it is at this point. I love the retired SU dsp I had left over, so I decided to use that along with the SU Carte Postale set.
I used velvet ribbon strips with gems for the slanted panels and square nesties for the frame and other elements.
Thanks for taking a look and if you have a chance, let me know what you think!! Have a great weekend!

Well, Mon Amie, you've broken out the girly stuff - pearls and rhinestones and velvet ribbon! You must be feeling more like yourself again! Love it...all of it! Great job on the sketch...

Pam, Just came by to see what you've been up to and I find you have probably finished your masculine cards and moved on to FRENCH. You can pretend to be French while you make these cards. Of course, this is beautiful and love those wonderful colors and your framed image.
