Emily, sorry to be so late honoring you as FS, but vacation and computer crash, not to mention my lack of mojo are my excuses. Your are a precious punchie and your smile could light the world.
I was going to use an eiffel tower, but then saw Smoatsmom cased this same card and used an eiffel tower, so I kept the same card, but turned it into a flowery orchid card.
I tried to stay as close to the inspiration as possible less the stitching, of course, and I used a nestie rather than a doiley for the image.
This is for a dear friend of mine who had a b/day on 7-11, so it's never hard to forget that day! Free Slurpee Day! She loves orchids and I didn't have an orchid stamp, so I downloaded a digi from Floppy Latte Designs.
Not sure I did it true justice, but after coloring it about 10 times, it is what it is. I angled the sentiment in the middle of the image with ribbon and attached 2 cute little dragonflies from K&C. For some reason I keep using Orchid Opppulence lately and have no idea why.
I used 2 layers of the same dsp rather than 2 different dp's like Emily did and instead of stitching, I paper pierced around the top panel. Added pearls, primas, rhinestones, dazzling diamonds and sponged the diecut panel.
Thanks so much for taking a look. I'm on a new laptop now and haven't grasped the ropes on using it and the new Windows program, so hope the photo turns out okay and no typos!
Hugs Emzi!
