Ready for a threefer? I wasn't. It just happened. (And I didn't even make a card using my first idea!) Meet the Temperly London dress from Runway Inspired Challenge #53.
Whoa! Definitely going to a party. Definitely shimmery. Very symmetric, yet organic. That's what I got at least. Oh, and Antique Linen, Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers with black accents (Did you notice that glove???) Even if you don't play along, you must check out the DT cards. Extraordinaire, they are.
Meet hip #1.
I LOVE this. Pun intended. I've got this older Kelly Panacci stamp set, Love, and it's got the greatest images. This one caught my eye for this card. Back up... Flubidoo caught my eye. Did you see her gorgeous creation for this challenge - the pink and purple distress inked panels? Knew I had to do that. And why not paired with bronze/glitter Zing? Screamed "artsy fartsy" image to me. Which brings us back to the Love set.
So, distress inking (spritzed with bronze Perfect Pearls for the coolest shimmer) plus heat embossed image just wasn't doing it. My inner Aga thought about a Dymo label. But just the Dymo strip wasn't enough. Enter the PP strip (discovered as I was searching for a folklore type print) and red heart. Still wasn't enough, thus the "photo corners" with an organic edge.
Meet hip #2.
To mimic the symmetric but organic blooms outlined with black, I heat embossed with a floral BG stamp on Neenah CS and colored with Distress Inks in abovementioned colors. Die cut the sentiment from CS and backed it with a strip of the BG. The plain CS just wasn't doing it... had to add some inks and Glimmer Mist to make it party-worthy. And some jumbo sequins - why not?
So, ready for the party? Meet hooray.
This card happened cuz as I was looking for my purple sequins for hip #2, I stumbled across these sequins and they screamed "party banner" to me. Which led to the "celebration" idea which led to the Neat and Tangled Party Dots stamp set. Some Wink of Stella shimmer on the dots and voila.
OK, I'm done.

Die "Danke"-Karte ist der Knaller.
Maria your cards are all so fantastic! Things are going well here, far to cold and snoy of a winter though--Sam does not like it at all. I can't believe that Ellie is 7 months! I bet she has completely stolen your heart!

I love each version!
THank you~
Love 'em all, but the party girl is definitely the third one! Love that sequin banner!
Oh my goodness, Maria ... rich and regal purple splendour ... wow! These are all stunning ... though my CAS loving heart's been stolen by the last one ... the sequin banner ... sigh ... bliss! Anita :)
Wow Maria, all of your cards are just awesome! I mean seriously, that sequin banner on the last one - just genius! Am so humbled by the words on your post about my card - thanks for the shout out - so glad you shared your cards with us at the Runway Inspired Challenge!
Fabulous set of cards - just adore the sequin banner winding its way across the third one!
My goodness! Three very original takes on the challenge Maria. All are amazing.
These are fun, fun, fun! Love that last one with the garland of gorgeous sequins! How about that glove! Never noticed it until you pointed it out and now I can't take my eyes off of it!!!
These are all so bangin!! Fo reals! I'm usually not a fan of purple, but wow! You really made it shine here! Gotta say that the danke card is my fave - such a cool background pattern!

WOW AMAZINGNESS!!! Awesome projects Maria!!! Me too so in love with this color. Gorgeous projects girly! My fave is the fave one :)
All your cards are beautiful, Maria, but my favorite is the last one. Love those striped sequins with the not centered hole, and the way you placed them. I noticed the non-traditional gloves... they are almost "snettim": the opposite of mittens. Not funny, I know.
Very cute! Love the gold! Thanks for playing along with the Little Tangles Challenge!
Alles drei Karten schauen super aus und die Farbkombinationen sind auch maga schön. Danke für's Mitspielen bei Little Tangels und ich hoffe du bist beim nächsten Mal auch wieder dabei. LG
Your cards are great! Love those jumbo sequins. Thanks for joining us at Little Tangles.
Three absolute stunners Maria! Each one so different! I did notice that glove, but as you know from my post I was on a mission with a certain other design... ;-) I love the last one the most - those playful sequins and clean layout just do it for me. Thanks for joining in with us at Runway Inspired Challenge!
