What an excellent stamper to showcase today, Beth! Who hasn't been touched by Anne's humor, talent, and spirit here on SCS. I had such a great time visiting her gallery to arrive at a card I wanted to case. In the end, I couldn't pick just one, so mine is based on this one and and this one, 2.
I changed Anne's elegant lady stamp to another from B Line Designs and used the wrinkled lady from Art Impressions in the mirror. I left off the ribbon, but paper pieced my lady's slip and used gemstones around her neck (see how pretty they look at the back of her neck?) The sentiment is truly one to remember...The fabulous RED damask 'wallpaper' is from My Mind's Eye 29th St last year. I mounted my scene onto retired SU soft sky.
Thanks for your comments, they'll pump me up later today when I am sleep deprived from playing TOO late into the night. Be blessed and to Anne, you shine marvelously girl (and you are a girl at heart)! Have fun this week seeing all the takes on your style!!!!

What a wonderful card, Susan! I love the beauty in front of the mirror and the exasperated reflection. Such perfect contrast and I kind of feel like this when I look in the mirror these days, lol.

I LOVE your humor on this wonderful CASE of two of our Anne's cards Susan! the image in the mirror just cracks me up - what great fussy cutting on the vanity and the cuttled panel is perfect for the boudoir wallpaper!!!
