A card for our MMTPT508 challenge to feature antique furniture, clothing, etc. I chose an antique couch and chair from a 1994 SU set called Dollhouse. I am at least the third owner of this set and despite having it for several years, have not inked it up until today. It is also for yesterday's colour challenge. The image was stamped on whie cs and on aqua (my version of soft sky), and the sofa and chair backs were fussy cut out of the aqua and paper pieced. The pillow was fussy cut out of green, but that is hard to see. I die cut and assembled the flowers and the smallest one on the left is covering a little boo boo. I scribbled a piece of white cs with a tombow marker that seems a perfect match to blackberry bliss, and when dry, die cut the dragonfly. The dp with all the challenge colours was mounted on green and then the aqua card base. I hope Carlene will like this card.

Oh, Ina, I know that Carlene will LOVE this card! The antique furniture is perfect, and I love how you've paper-pieced them. Just love how the flowers came out, and I love the dragonfly too! Beautifully done, and I'm so glad you've joined us at the Color Challenge too, along with Teapotters! Hugs! xoxo

Oh my - that must be such a sweet set! I'm glad that this challenge gave you a good reason to get it inked up. You had the perfect paper to use for the colours and it makes a great setting for the dragonfly.
p.s - your keyword was MMPTP508 - I've fixed it. Glad you linked on the challenge thread or I might not have found you!
