So how did this card come to? I was inspired by the theme of vehicles. Normally this word inspire me to make a masculine card, but I had this scrap piece with cars on it and it happened to fall down on my desk where the woman just happened to lay cut out and ready for use. The car die was on my desk too - it's been more than a year since last used. The film strip was already cut - intended but not used for a previous projcect. The same goes with the TH film strip. Lace laying around (on the floor, ahem...), bought on a trip at Easter. New NY cityscape die (Dienamics). Brown DP and the checker pattern one picked from my scrap box. Attached elements using a stapler. Added three wooden stars, just for the sake of reducing the empty space at the top. Lacked a sentiment, used my Dymo.No stamping at all.

Love very much this elegant lady, and the cityscape with the cars and the films strips make for her a perfect scenery!!! So glad to see that you have had the mood to adding lots of stuff! The lace and the little stars add a touch of very pretty and feminine look! You have played so well and... Goal!! :D

Had to smile about the tidy desk syndrome, and if you saw how messy my desk is, you'd wonder how anyone ever works there. However, this is been a splendid effort for you, in scooping up the bits, because you've got a wonderfully interesting and dimensional card. Interesting to read it is still flat for mailing too. Love the classy lady dressed to the nines with the vintage autos, and of course I love the Skyline. Clever to add in the film strip trimming, and ti all works beautifully together. Ditto with her well heeled foot, just stepping onto the delicate black lace. The subtle shades of the colors you chose, work great with all the different images. What a fun card, so best keep the desk just as it is!! TFS & Hugs (PS...if you take off the lady, would work great for masculine too! Heck, even with the lady on it, probably would as well!)
ReplyDeletePia, this is fantastic! What a fun card :)
ReplyDeleteThis post made me giggle, I can imagine you putting all this together and what a fab cadd you ended up with, she sure looks classy!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous 1950's feel Pia. Wonderful layers of detail and such stunning images.

Oh, Pia- this is so cool! The stars aligned and the pieces fit amazingly well! Masculine cards seen to obvious choice for many vehicle cards, but this is decidedly glamorous and feminine... LOVE LOVE LOVE. Another fave! Xo, have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteFor eit flott kort ♥
ReplyDeleteElegant og tøft på samme tid :)
Eg må rydde innimellom, elles får eg ikkje heilt fokus.
Altso, rommet er ikkje ryddigt -men akkurat der eg arbeider (ca 30 x 30 cm), må det vere plass :)
The only time my desk was tidy was when it first arrived! It might be a mess to some, but, I know were everything is! Well sort of lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat card, you've created a wonderful scene Pia and I LOve your colours.
There's some lovely dies there too.
