FS960 - Take Your Pick

FS01 - I went back to the first FS - krabearkub (Kurtis). Here is my INSPIRATION.

I changed the layout and used a die cut rather than the stamped heart. I added several flowers around the heart and popped the heart up on dimensionals finishing it with flowers and Nuvo Drops.

Granny Panties!

 

WT1058 - Feature a gem

A while back, I made this CARD. When I started cleaning up, I found two pieces of the designer paper left over and very small piece of the pink paper that looked like underwear. I just had to keep those pieces for a card. Well today's the day.

I cut the layers for the front of the card and printed the sentiment using my computer. Once the layers were added, I added the panties and underwear and added gems to the outside and the hearts for the inside.

Now to figure out who I could possibly send this card to...LOL!
