Stef found us another great site for the IC this!! She chose the site Heavenly Hostess, which is filled with tons of gorgeous aprons, kitchen towels and headbands. However, I'm not sure if the persone wearing these aprons is the one really doing the cooking!!!
I was instantly drawn to the colors, flowers and the contrasting prints on the tie.
I tried to recreate that by using a piece of Razzleberry Lemonade, in Melon Mambo, with the small flowers, and then layered two strips of Pretty in Pink I had run through the newest texture plates: Perfect Details. I then took my Melon Mambo marker (love it!) and put a small dot on all the embossed dots.
My bird is paper pieced with Afternoon Tea dsp and the Razzleberry/Mambo.
I used Fluerette that I dyed with my PIP re inker, a piece of Melon Mambo text and a clear rhinestone brad from my Pretties Kit.
The white tafetta ribbon is for the ribbon tie and the silver library clip is just because! I should have moved things up just a titch, because the upper right corner seemed bare - hence the library clip!

Oh Ann, this is just fabulous. I didnt see the IC saturday, but I have to think it must have been one fantastic site. Love your scored panels with those dots. Oooh la la, does that ever add something special to the mix! your sentiment is very special, and I sure do hope someone who's done something really wonderful for you is the one who will be receiving this darling pink card.
