From Masculine to Uber Feminine - OCC Challenge



Yea! Flowers and ribbon, just what I wanted after focusing on boys cards. This weeks OCC challenge is a recipe challenge to use hand made flowers, ribbon and bling. It's as if they heard the plea from my last post:).

Recipe
Ribbon - I gathered baja breeze and very vanilla seam binding and combined it with Victoria crochet trim.
Bling - I used the pearl jewels on both the dress hem and in the centers of the flowers.
Hand Made Flowers - I quilled the flowers ( I know I need to find a new flower making technique). In order for the pink roses not to appear too flat, I sponged ink onto very vanilla card stock. If you are new to my blog and want to learn how to make these flowers, click here

Stamps - Chic Boutique ( Interior of card has "It seems only fitting to wish you a happy day" sentiment
Ink - basic black, rich razzleberry, always artichoke, crumb cake
Paper - Springtime Vintage DSP, very vanilla and baja breeze card stock
Accessories - very vanilla, baja breeze seam binding, Victoria crochet trim, pear jewels, dimensionals, quilling tool,  SB labels #4 dies

    Tara, I love this one!! I attempted to make those flowers yesterday and it did not go well at all. Haha! Every bit of your card is gorgeous! The sponging, the paper piecing and that scrunchy ribbon all work perfectly together. So pretty!

    PS: I just saw the photos of your furry-kids on your sidebar. Too cute! Barney's face cracks me up! :)
