My starting point was the gorgeous topper sent to me by the lovely lady behind Cardmakers Delights as I thought the two fairies in the teacup were quite midsummer night's dreamy. I layered it onto a pink nestie lable, tied some vintage seam binding ribbon around it and added a couple of pearl pins. I mounted it onto a card covered with DP and added a dream themed sentiment and some sequin butterflies. I mounted the lable at an angle and added some diecut swirls and some paper roses. I don't tend naturally to this style - I love it but find it hard to do and am much better at CAS but this became my Sister-in-Law's birthday card and she loved it so I must try to do fussy more often!
I do hope you'll join in with this week's challenge - I think it's a great fun challenge to start off the week.
Hi Tara, this is just lovely and know what you mean about doing fussy cards lol I struggle too but you did it proud!

So beautiful Tara - you are so good at CAS and shabby chic!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely STUNNING work, Tara! LOVE that gorgeous sentiment--all those shabby details really dress up that darling image, too! :) Fabulous!!!

You've done a great job with this style Tara and come up with a card that is very feminine. I love the way the frame is overlapping the background. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteHello Tara, Sorry I have missed commenting on your first two GDT slots for MMM (I have been on holiday) but I did take a look and they were fabulous as is this beautiful dreamy card. Lovely work - you're being a great GDT. Suzanne :)
