Yes, you guessed it - another lot of humorous cards has been ordered - I find it a challenge in itself to do them differently each time, but that just makes me 'stretch' myself! I have used this weeks Sketch Challenge....I love the different layers - it is hard to tell from this angle but the imaged layered is popped up on 3D foam dots...it just adds more dimension to it (do you think this is why SU call them DIMENSIONALS!!! LOL!) ....so it is going into the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge where 'popping up' is the go:
I added a strip of fibre ribbon, for more texture and also used foam flowers that I picked up on sale at KMART...I loved the shape of them but when I took them out of the packet I wasn't too sure about the thickness...once that brad was in them it pushed the flower down in the centre and popped up the petals
In IRL it has a lot of dimension - something I haven't captured too well in the photo...but it is too cold to try again and usually I have to photograph at night and miss out on natural lighting!!
I have used lace under the flowers....I love these girls with a bit of 'pizazz' but decided not to do the 'bling thing' too much - a bit more sedate...LOL! The Emerson images have proved to be a great hit and I am looking forward to doing some more of the ones I was sent in a RAK...I love the quirkiness of them - you will be seeing more of them over the next few days - enjoy, we need to laugh more often - does us good like a medicine!!!

Judy said it so well, Linda! This is wondeful and what's not to love about the purple...so happy for you to be selling out of the funny ones...yes, the author of Proverbs had it right...a cheerful heart is good medicine. And a great job using this one for the SC. Hugs

Oh those 'Southern Girls'. Maybe a 'Terri treatment' would perk them up! Lol- Linda, each time you use these I just crack up. They are so funny. And each time, they are so different too! I love the purple and your lace. Of course, your make up job is always splendid!
