Yesterday’s Inspirational challenge was a tough one for me. I don’t know why. I am not sure if I like waht I came up with either.
Our inspiration piece was this floral dress. I jotted down that I wanted to use a diagonal line (collar), scallops (end of sleeve) and this color combo:
Sage Shadow, Blue Bayou, Close to Cocoa and Pretty in pink.
I dug through my designer paper stash and found a strip of the Close to Cocoa polka dotted paper from the retired Love Me Designer paper. I knew I had to use that. I also knew I wanted to use Priceless again, to showcase how versatile it is. You can make fun cards, sympathy cards and even baby cards with it.
The card is a 4 1/2″ square. I will keep my post short, because I haven’t stamped at all today. My internet went down yesterday at noon and stayed down until this morning. I had a lot of catching up to do work wise. Now I need to work on my Featured Stamper card. I can’t break my challenge streak. I think I am at 23 challenges in a row! So let me just give you the recipe today.
Stamps: Priceless, Short & Sweet
Inks: Blue Bayou, Pretty in Pink, Sage Shadow, and Close to Cocoa Ink Pads, Close to Cocoa Marker
Paper: Blue Bayou, Whisper White, Sage Shadow, Pretty in Pink cardstock, Love me Designer Paper
Acc.: 1/2″ (to round the sentiment strip), 1 1/4″, 1 3/8″ and scallop circle punch, corner rounder, ticket corner punch, silver brads, sponges, Dazzling Diamond Glitter, Glue Pen, Pink Taffeta ribbon
I saw that I broke the 600,000 hit mark while I was offline. I will post a Fresh & Fun Freebie either later today or tomorrow! Wow!!! The counter is going fast! Thank you all so much for checking out my blog! Makes a girl feel special! 🙂

Oh my gosh! My daughter has this same dress. She wore it last week for her first day of school and I thought these colors would make an interesting card. But I just couldn’t get it to work.
I love the card that you put together! Very cute.
