I was excited to see Lexi's video because her cards were so cute! and immediately went to search out on Google what shape I might create for this challenge. I was shocked! at how super easy this dress was to create. (Marybeth and I could go to the prom together with our two cards for this week! giggles. See Marybeth's sweet take on this sketch HERE.)
I started out by making a mask and stenciling some soft and pretty pastel inks over MFT Funky Flowers stencil. Then I placed my small white frame over that portion of the cardbase. Next I cut a larger scallop shape from the same set and added a little hint of ink. Finally I added the Congratulations sentiment which I wanted to look like a belt.... does it look like a belt gone wild? LOL and a tiny little bow at the neckline of my dress.
This card is a graduation card for my granddaughter who will be finishing Homeschool high school any day. : ) And I have just found out that I will be able to give this card to her in person!! because it turns out I'm getting Katie for my Birthday!! : ) she is flying in to celebrate with us and I am so excited I can't wipe the smile off my face!!
I will be entering this card in the City Crafter Challenge. Don't you just LOVE this inspiration photo!!
And CASology has one of my new favorite themes. I really love the stencils I am seeing in Blogland and the pretty touch they add to a card.
Thank you for stopping by friends. It was hard to get to my computer today because it is so BEAUTIFUL outside today!! I hope you are having a wonderful day too!!

This is adorable and clever. Love the idea of you and Marybeth going to prom together! Ha ha.

Congratulations to your granddaughter ! I think your congrats belt is a great idea for a fun and pretty card! Lol ,yes our cards could go to prom....you are too funny and sweet to mention me! A few of my sisters homeschooled their kids too!
What a wonderful post, Patti! Your card is fabulou; guaranteed to thrill your soon-to-graduate grand-daughter. Having her visit you as a birthday present...it just doesn't get any better than that, does it! Fun to be had and memories to be made! Although I'm certainly old enough to be a grandma, I don't have children of my own (well, my husband *grin*), but I am Aunty c to my precious niece and nephew, who are 6 and 4. Being Aunty c is my BEST. Job. EVER! Love those two littles to infinity and back; I'm sure you feel the same about your precious grand-daughter...
