Less is More 1000 Challenge, CAS-ual Fridays

Hi all, I have a little card to share today for Less is More 1000 Challenge, and CAS-ual Fridays mini cards.



I have made a little card for my daughter's friend, who had a terrible accident last week and broke her elbow - yesterday she had to have an operation to pin the bones together, ouch!

My daughter asked me to make her a Get Well Card, and this is what I made:



I wanted to use the elegant dressform from Waltzingmouse Stamps, it's such a beautiful image.
I stamped the dress onto some patterned paper from Echo Park Victoria Gardens paper stack, and layered it onto a sparkly label cut with Spellbinders, then cut a larger label in the musical notes paper from the same paper stack - it's actually the reverse of the turquoise damask on the dress!


I edged the larger label with Black Soot Distress Ink, and stamped the sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps Teeny Trees in the corner.

A very quick and easy card today, as I knew exactly what I wanted to use - it took me about 15 minutes from start to finish! That's a real record for me lol!


I am also entering this into the following challenges:

Ruby's Rainbow

Paperplay Challenge


Supplies Used:

Stamps: You're lovely - Waltzingmouse Stamps; Teeny Trees - Waltzingmouse Stamps.

Paper: Victoria Garden - Echo Park; Glitter card from stash, card base from stash.

Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black; Distress Ink - Black Soot

Oops, almost forgot, this card measures 4 x 4!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
