WOJ Pink and Pearls- Willow with flowers

Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I hope you are having a great week!!

Today it is time for another Whiff of Joy challenge!! This week's challenge is fun and easy peasy. Pink and Pearls!!


For my creation I used the darling Willow with flowers image available at Whiff of Joy illustrated by Elizabeth Bell. The dress is paper pieced with Prima Sparkling spring paper and is colored with copics. The designer paper on the card itself is actually fabric dp which I purchased at Hobby Lobby. The flowers are Wild Orchid roses. The die used in the background is the Elegant Ovals die available at ODBD.  The sentiment is cut out with the Stampin Up oval punch.

For more inspiration for the Whiff Of Joy Challenge, please visit my dt sisters:   Jane, Kathrin,    Michele, Dunja, Durvina, Julie and Karina

Happy Friday All!! I hope you are all ready for the weekend!! Today is our last sunny day fore casted for a while due to the fore casted Hurricane.  I don't know how much of the forecast is sensationalized and how bad it will actually be.  They are predicting power outages, 85 mph winds and a FOOT of rain. Yikes!! Hope they are wrong!!

Anywho...today I have a sunshiny card to share with you....using a sneak peek from Our Daily Bread Designs called The Good Seed and the sketch  inspired by Iwona's Sketchbook Saturday #25 as well as the ODBD Stamping in Time to use lace (lacy doily).  The doily is a Cheery Lynn Canadian Kaleidoscope  die.  The leaf flourish is also from Cheery Lynn and is called Fanciful Flourish. The flowers are a mixture of prima and Wild Orchids (large blue rose).  The ivory flowers I glittered (you may have to click on the photo to see it in a close up). The dp is Basic Grey Botanical.  The sentiment is framed with the Spellbinders Grommet Tags cut out with my Spellbinders Grand Caliber.
