I was checking out the Inspiration Challenge for this week and wasn't planning to try it until I started cleaning up my room (of course-inspiration always hits when I should be doing something else.......). The challenge was to make a card inspired by movie dresses. I came across the baroque background stamp and started to think about how it reminded me of the dresses and play clothes Maria made in The Sound of Music-you know-the ones she made out of drapes? See them here http://www.reelclassics.com/Musicals...oundmusic4.htm
A pretty simple card really. I just stamped the BG in Old Olive on Vanilla, added the sentiment and ribbon and rounded the corners. I kept it simple as the pattern is pretty bold. It's a bit like a card from a catty with this BG stamp that I recall seeing.
I really had fun making this one as The Sound of Music is one of my favourite movies ever!
Thanks so much for taking a peek.
Feel free to check out my new blog if you've got nothing better to do

Ha! I TOTALLY got it, just from the title of the photo! You definitely nailed it! That's one of my favorite movies, too. I even saw it as a play at a theater-in-the-round in California when I was a young 'un... Thanks for a nostalgic moment, as well as a great card!

This is PERFECT!!!
And the scene where those kids are playing and singing Do-Re-mi is one of the best scenes in movie musicals of all time, (in my opinion.) This card made me smile!!!

My favorite movie of all time! And your card perfectly brings to mind those play clothes. I don't own either stamp you used here, but I would buy them both just to make this card! Love it!!!
