I received this card from my friend Patti G. – the reason I got into stamping and Stampin’ Up! in the first place! Isn’t it beautiful? Patti is such a talented designer, with an eye for detail. I love how she layered the stamped images here, added texture with the dry embossing and dimension with the butterfly. This card uses all but on of the stamps in teh Stampin’ Up! "Great Friend" stamp set. Lavendar Lace, Basic Gray and Mellow Moss – sucha lovely color ocmbination.

I have been working on this card since last Saturday – obviously it’s been busy around here, eh? 
I heard about the Cinema Saturday Challenge from the GinaK site. Each week – they pick a movie as an inspiration. I thought this was a unique idea for adding inspiration to the paper-crafting world and wanted to give it a try. Challenge #50 was to use the technique of Paper Piecing and the movie was "Pretty Woman". I remember Julia Roberts character being a down-to-earth kind of girl (despite her… ahem, "occupation"), so I went with the t-shirt and ball cap image, but kept the pink color family and of course, the bling! I used Basic Grey Lemonade paper, Heidi Swapp bling, GinaK and SU! stamps, and of course SU card stock cuz it’s the BEST (in Rose Red, Regal Rose and Whisper White). I added some Sponging and Paper Piercing for added texture. The SU! birthday sentiment is heat embossed in white and popped up on dimensionals.
