*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?

What a sweet tidbit to share about your mother.....words that make my heart sing - I have taught my grand daughters some words that make my heart sing - I ask them "how much do I love you?" And they reply even at two years old, "to the moon and back" - my heart sings every time they say it!! And I love your eclectic lady all dressed in crisp cantaloupe too! Awesome card!!

Fantastic, creative card Susan! Love all the details you added to this fashionable diva and that TH sticker is perfect!
Words that make my heart sing. My grandsons shouting "Nana" when I walk in! My daughter telling me I'm her best friend, that took a lot of years to earn ;)
