This weeks' Color Challenge is a modern '60's oranges and watery turquoise. Thank you, Stef for encouraging us to have a fresh look at these hues. I chose dessert as well, using my handmade paper as texture.
The Featured Stamper is a very talented long time member of our community. niki1, Monique! Thank you Nancy. I actually got lost in Monique's gallery...so so many wonderful 3D projects as well as lovely cards. Monique also links up the tutorials or you tube videos if one is interested.
I chose this beautiful Fashion needs alot of Imagination to case. Monique credited Lauren Maurer for the fashion dresses. I loved the loose watercolored dresses. And the nine panel.
I decided to use Pepin's (French) 1950 Fashions paper. And played paper dolls, choosing the orange colorway. It was fun to fussy cut. My card is divided into 9 blocks. Can you see it? Well, the middle 3 is slightly artistic license...Both women are divided into thirds. The middle three includes an empty panel spotlighting that gorgeous hand made paper, the Audrey Hepburn quote is in the middle middle third, and my sweet little cowgirl fits right there next to her fashionable mama. She's sporting her very own wrangler outfit!
Monique, I hope you enjoy the cards that will fill your gallery. You are one very talented paper engineer! Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your comments. I am not one to wear orange, but it sure looks lovely on these French fashion plates!

Love this card with the vintage ladies. They remind me of the ladies that use to be on McCall dress patterns, if anyone remembers those. Great memories.

You found the YOU card in monique's gallery. I love the stories you create in your work, Susan, and adding your little cowgirl is a perfect example of that. This color palette is so rich and inspiring.

LOVE your interpretation of Niki's card, Susan! So fun with those fashionable paper dolls and the cowgirl. And that gorgeous paper; it had to be difficult to pry loose a sheet of it from your stash LOL! Your card is marvelous and I'm so glad the CC colors worked with your design!

Your ladies are so stylish in their pretty dresses. Love your paper for the background and thought it was the tissue paper w/c technique. I can tell you had fun making this card....and, that is what our craft is all about, right?
