Oh Baby!!!

Every time I  have a baby shower to go to, I make a card or tag using this Madonna and Child image by Stampington & Company's Leonardo Da Vinci Collection. I have loved this painting from the master himself ever since Art History in college, and I think it's perfect for these occasions. I was delighted that the Blogger's Challenge theme this week was "oh baby", and I knew instantly I would use this image.

Forever And A Day!

As you have heard me so many times before, I love Love!!! So I could not pass up the opportunity to participate in the Reader Art Quest 1 at Unruly Paper Arts for "weddings, anything but a card". By the way, if you check back over there on the 17th, you will find a tutorial of mine that they published. That was very exciting!
Everything here is pretty basic, except the wedding dress, which I am so proud of. I used Tim's Mini Dressform die, and started adding layers of lace to it until I achieved the desired length. I cut tulle to form the bodice and arms and added lace to the borders of it. The rhinestone embellishments are from the Prima flourishes. I think this would be a cool little embellishment on a present for a bridal shower.
I am also submitting this to Simon Says Stamp & Show's challenge of "anything goes".
