of myself...my hair, my face, my skin, they just don't match my inside...anyone identify????
I am covering 3 challenges with this card.
The TLC571 Naked Stamping, the CAS362 Happy Birthday in Purples, and the MIX158 Fashion Forward.
I sponged three shades of Distress Inks on my background and masked my silhouette. The 'pocketbook' hanging on her arm sports the Happy Birthday. Don't you think she's quite fashionable?
The sentiment was embossed with an orchid hue, it is an Emily Dickinson quote, 'We turn not older in years, but newer every day'
I added the German scrap (embossing in a matte red ep to take the shine away) and notice the 'diamond' earring on her right ear.
Thanks so much for stopping by. And have an amazingly full, artful weekend.

Very fashionable card! I love all your details! And yes I can agree...my mental age is so much younger than my physical body these days. Love the purse...I was trying to figure out the HB until I read your description...silly me..my mind went to Hofbrauhaus (I spent time in Germany during college and that was a fav place of mine..have some coasters with a big HB on them....I digress...)

So very fashionable, my friend. Plus, dark colors are this year's 'in' colors. You fashionista! Lovely darkened bg showcases your gorgeous lady beautifully. She's demure, sophisticated and so savvy with those colors.
