Congratulations to today's Featured Stamper (Susan, a/k/a One4Joy). Her gallery is full of inspiration, and she is so generous with her comments. I chose her accessories to CASE -- and then I saw that it was a FS card, so I guess I am also CASEing my friend Joanne (jojot). As the original card was a sketch challenge, I wanted to change it around a bit -- so I made it a gatefold card, putting each of the fancy-dressed ladies on her own panel. I also paper-pieced the dresses like Susan. I removed the center horizontal panel, and used the same DP for my background as I used on one of the dresses. I balanced out the sentiment with the pearls.

Lois, you've made a stunningly elegant card and nailed my penchant for ladies! And I am so glad you took the high road and not our 'future' as our friend jojot predicted, wink, wink!
The paper piecing is lovely as is the gatefold card...I always forget about using that one, thanks for the reminder and thank you for bringing this beautiful card out to the gallery today.

These women look like Kathrine Hepburn, especially on the left -- great card! I like the fold in this...
