You Sweep Me Off My Feet!


Hi!  Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend!  We had a great one.....our youngest had his friends over for a birthday party on Saturday and today I found a few minutes to craft!  I colored this Tilda with Prismacolor pencils and I was experimenting on getting her dress to look like velvet.  Don't we all  wear velvet dresses with sparkles while sweeping?  lol  I used papers by Bo Bunny and My Minds Eye and the ticket stub is by Tim Holtz along with the distress inks in Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo.  The sentiment is a combination of  a Whimsy stamp and printing some on my computer.  I added some lace (from Wild Orchid Crafts), pearls, stickles and stitching and my card was complete.  The paper lace was cut with a Doohickey die.  Thanks for stopping by!  : )
