This month's hostess for the Kit-Cat Club is the lovely Susan ~ she sent us Cruiseabella to bring her thoughts of warm sunshine and off all the piles of snow she's getting! As a Floridian, I have to say this is pretty much what it looks like here - tops down, wind in their hair, sunshine bursting through ..... sadly, I drive an SUV but a convertible sure sounds nice, lol! Combined with the kit & bella, she asked us to make an unusual (different!) fold to our cards ...... this is my first attempt at a stair step card :) Of course, mine looks more like a wonky escalator that you find at the airport *smile!* But it was fun!
I paired the dsp Susan sent along with some Old Olive/Bermuda Bay cardstock I had on hand .... it went well with the green floral paper she sent and embellished it with the paper scraps left over from the unfortunate event. I wanted to create a drive down a country road on a sunny day so I used my Taylored Expressions set to make a tree ~ small flowers cut with a punch to make little apple blossoms & added some tiny blue gemstones she sent along. Cruiseabella is colored up with some prismas in a blue car, simple to match the overall patterns in the dsp .... added some of the lovely fringe, a sentiment and here you go!
The sentiment is also from T.E. and reads "we are friends forever in sunshine and shade" :)
Thanks for stopping by on Superbowl Sunday - hugs to all!
