Homecoming Dress

Saturday night was our High School homecoming dance.  Today's card inspiration comes from my daughter's dress.

Stamp Set: All Dressed Up

Cardstock: Wisteria Wonder, Pink Pirouette, Shimmery White, Crumb Cake

Ink: Wisteria Wonder

Accessories: Big Shot, Envelope Punch Board, TIEF Petal-A-Plenty, Button Bouquet, 5/8" Basic Black satin ribbon, glue dots

I used the envelope punch board to create the round corners on the pink mat and the textured impressions embossing folder to making the raised flowers on the skirt of the dress.  The kids had a great time.

Enter If You Dare

Inspiration can be hard to find especially if you want to create something original.  Today's card was inspired by our front door.  My daughter found some Halloween caution tape at a local scrapbooking store and did this:

So, here's the card it inspired:
