well, I scored today thanks to Julia, how about YOU?!!! The challenge was to use scoring in your artwork. I immediately knew I'd go back the fabulous SC182 of last week which incorporated inchies. This time my take is girlie girl.
I used several different sets of stamps, unmounted Purple Onion Design purses, the flat shoes and the sentiment. The smaller purses are from a cute Hero Arts set. That big pump is from Stamp Affair. I inked all images with ColorBox dragonfly green and embossed in clear. fussy cut all images. My squares are made with borrowed punches from my neighbor...welcome home, Kristi!!! I used paper from that Costco stack (MME), GP white cs and an unknown black linen. The scoring was done with a bone folder and a straight edge. I popped the sentiment on foam, stapled bits of it and added a couple of little ribbon scraps to the handle of the bottom purse and the tag.
You know it's true...that sentiment. I know I've gained so many cyber girlfriends that I will just love to pieces when we meet in person and there's always room in my heart for more...how about YOU?
Thanks for your comments

This is so terrific, I love the grid with the stamp squares fille with wonderful little purses and shoes. That is a great sentiment too. I really like the use of the colored staples on this "I've never liked staples on a card till now".
