Just popping in with a card I put together yesterday. There's a heat wave going through the area so it's been pretty hot (tomorrow will be really humid)... so I don't have a lot of patience... I am not very happy with this card, but oh, well... not every card can be a work of art... right?
Recipe: Esleblished Elegance and Tiny Tags stamp sets (SU!)... More Mustard, Daffodil Delight, Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz ink (SU!)... More Mustard and Chocolate Chip card stock (SU!), Lost & Found Two DP (My Mind's Eye)... Buttons embossing folder (Cuttlebug), Scallope Eyelet punch (EK Success), Color Spritzer Tool and Jewelry Tag punch (SU!)... paper flower, ribbon, pearls...
Inspiration for the card came from CASE Study #99 (a Kristii Lockart creation)... colors are from Colour Q #147 (Daffodil Delight, More Mustard, Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz).
Thanks for visiting!
Monika

Monika, I think that this card looks like piece of art. All of your cards do.The way that you added the small yellow flower to the manequin looks great. The embossed buttons on top are wonderful. I love vintage cards and as usual you nailed this one. Try and stay cool.

I'm surprised you're not happy with this, Monika. I think it's gorgeous! I love how you split the main panel into squares, and the colors are beautiful. Thanks so much for joining us again at CASE Study!
