The theme for this week’s challenge at Less is More is a ‘Touch of Turquoise’. I'm a huge fan of this color, especially with pastel pink, so I pulled out my new Whimsy Stamp dress die (which I won on their recent release blog hop) and created this card:
I die cut the dress in turquoise cardstock, and replaced the hearts and circles in pink and the design detail with glitter cardstock. I love the elegant swirl on this sentiment, so I added that and mounted everything on my Femme Frames.
My next card is for 2 challenges: The Cue Card at CASology this week is 'Wet’, and the theme this month at Virginia’s View Challenge is 'Stencil'. So, I created a stencil with my raindrops border die on a
piece of transparent cardstock and used pearlescent embossing paste on
the front panel of this card. I paired it with stamped and die cut boots
and added a sentiment:
Here is a close of the shimmer on the raindrops from the pearlescent embossing paste:

Love both these cards, Barb - especially the rain that you created on your second card! The red welly boots really pop :)
Adorable cards, Barb!
Awesome cards, both evoke such feeling. Nothing like a party dress to scream celebration, and rain is a wonderful version of wet.
I simply love both your cards, such a creative take on the cue word wet for your second card, too cool and pretty dress on your first card!!!
i always enjoy looking at your cards, barb... they are always so clever and fun! the first one is so very pretty and the second super clever!
Truly beautiful!! Love the hearts and glitter details on your first card! And the rain...oh the rain...how gorgeous is that glittery embossing paste! Your DIY stencil is perfect with the design! So glad that you join the fun over Virginia's View Challenge!

Just fabulous CAS card! Love the shimmer on the raindrops! Thanks so much for playing with us at CASolgoy.
I'm late again with visiting and see that you, too, are busy with things and have not posted for a few days. I love this time of year when the house can be opened and spring cleaning done; not to mention Easter prep. At least I hope that's what you are doing and that you aren't ill. Your two cards are both terrific, Barb!! Hugs, Darnell
Two gorgeous cards, Barb! Love the dress die and how you embellished it. The pasted rain drops with the boots is ultra cute!
What a fantastic way to use your stencil, Barb! Those rain drops are beautiful!!! I love how you left the lower portion of your card clear...wonderful use of white space! :)
Thank you so much for joining us at CASology!
