I fell blessed and honored to be joining the color challenge team as s guest designer in the month of May for the 3rd time. I never felt my work was good enough for one time much less 3. I hope I won't disappoint these fine and talented ladies.
Pam is the hostess this week and she has given us the color pink pirouette and black with a dessert of vellum.
It just so happened I was working on a birthday card for my DIL who loves pink. I did a Susie Australia move and removed the bow from the Rubber Necker dress image. I colored it with copic R81,& R83 for the pink and C0 gray, for the shadow on the bottom of the dress. I closed in the lines and cut it out on with the brother SNC2, which I love. Then I added black Nuvo crystal drops for the buttons. The Happy Birthday is PTI, large & scalloped oval are SU, piercing tool and mat also SU. I cut the black rectangle with MFT die. I embossed using old cuttlebug EBF Happy Birthday and Argyle. I punched the pink vellum flowers (which looks white) using an old McGill flower punch and stacked a few layers for dimension. I added a black pearl to the centers.
Thanks for taking the time to look and leave a comment. Your comments make me a better Stamper!
Happy Stamping,
Tonda

Terrific design for this rather difficult color combo, Tonda. The black embossed panel looks fantastic behind that cute outfit on the hanger. The addition of the little flowers was a fun idea.

You are the perfect guest designer!!! Love the way you put this all together with a kind of vintage look. Great dress too - stamp surgery is how we make our stamps our own. Super card, my sweet friend.
