IC579 ~ Come Sit By Me

Photo Details

Poster: SmilynStef

My card for this week's SCS Inspiration Challenge was inspired by this fabulous frock:

http://i-dont-wear-dresses.tumblr.co...-internet-shop

For some reason, I thought the look on her face needed a particularly snarky sentiment, so that's where I took my design.

I paper pieced her dress & hat and then added some red lipstick and a little pink chalk for blush.

The sketch is this week's Fusion Card Challenge.

Great CAS card, Steph. Your sentiment is similar to what was embroidered on a pillow that Alice Roosevelt Longworth had on a chair in her sitting room: "If you can't say something good about someone, sit right here by me." (Apparently, she was quite a handful for Washington) : ) You are so right, it goes perfectly with the expression on your gal's face.

I saw that stamp yesterday at a store and wondered how to use it. Your interpretation is perfect! What a great card, colors, layout, stamp and sentiment. Just perfect.

Perfect image for the i don't wear dresses site. The mint and black are striking together. That snarky sentiment makes me think of an acquaintance of mine.
