It's been a jam-packed day with unforeseen tasks needing attention, so I'm arriving rather late to the Friends with Flair party this week. But here I am {finally!} with another Unity creation to share:
This card was inspired by this week's Finesse the Dress Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World.
And I'm playing along with a great sketch from the new Chick Challenges {with ippity}:
A huge thanks to Noelle for some insight on an easy approach to making an oval-shaped card. Making this shaped card was trivial!! The heavy lifting in this design is being handled by some beautiful gold-glitter-embossed patterned paper from DCWV's Indian Summer stack. My sentiment and frame from Just Wanted to Say from {ippity} by Unity. And my gauzy flower? That's a Bloomer from Webster's Pages.
This card was so much fun to put together! I love how it turned out. I'm running low on get well cards, so this will be a great addition to my stash.
Thanks for checking out my little slice of bliss today!
Emily

That is really gorgeous embossed paper and I adore that flower. Pretty shape on your card, too.
Gorgeous!
I love this oval shaped card with it's shiny paper. Someone will feel better for receiving it.
OOh, I love it when cards come together quick with paper...sometimes it feels a little cheaty, but you know, it averages out when you consider the cards that take a few hours, right? Right? RIGHT??
I love the bloomer, and the edge punch (pretty!) and the smooch around the sentiment.
And, better late to the party than not arriving at all. Life happens :)
Look at all these comments - wow! The gold embossed paper is gor-juss, Emily, and perfect for echoing the details of that inspiration dress.
And you with an oval card, and no dies! You are truly ingenious, always coming up with a way around obstacles. I love that about you. :)
Beautiful card, I love the colours! :) That dress is AMAZING, I want it.. hehe
This is so beautiful. You really got some great inspiration from that dress. I love the color and the layout. Such a fine specimen of your incredible talent.
Bear hugs,
