I found
this wonderful blog yesterday - while surfing and blog hopping with TiddlyInks.... Valita had this amazing
template for an Iris fold dress. I decided to give it a go and ended up making this card for my niece's 21st ( previous card now back in the pile!!!) This one is so pretty I am really pleased with it.
The silver is a very shiny slippery piece of Christmas wrapping paper - but it gives such an awesome look. I used the same Inkadinkado stamp that Valita used on her card. ( Note - yet another Purple card!!!!!)
Tonight I quickly made a Thanks card for the woman I sit beside at work. Jasmine came in this morning with a pile of old stamps she had and doesn't use any more.... All of them by a company called All Night Media. One of them was a lovely Spring Bouquet and I used it to make this card.... following one of the Caardvarks sketches for this months challenge.
I coloured in the image with my water colour pencils and cut it out with Label 4 ( just arrived today) and used some of the Kaisercraft paper and die cuts that also arrived today - part of my prize from Paula for the Cuttlebug challenge last month.... Thanks Paula.... ( will blog Em's card once I get a good photo of it!!) The top scallop is cut with a new border die from Spellbinders.
Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day... dinner out with the kids and their partners was just lovely last night, a lovely finish to a wonderful day. Have a great week.... and thanks for visiting.

Love the dimension of the dress on your first card, that is very cleverly done!
Hi, Dawn! Beautiful cards! I especially like the shiny dress you made! The flourishes are wonderful. And, it is shimmery enough to enter in my challenge, if you want! :-)
Beautiful cards Dawn! You know, I think it's so neat to make those types of dresses out of other materials, how creative and such a neat idea..love the finished look!
