Cosmopolitan Neopolitan

Now say that 3X real fast!  That's the Tuesday Trigger on Moxie Fab World this week.  These yummy treats are the inspiration:

Aren't these just to die for? 

My cards aren't very cosmopolitan because I was in a vintage mood today;  but they are neopolitan.  I love those colors!

This first card came about because I had the stamps out from the SCS CAS122 challenge - Play on Words.
This one isn't intended to be CAS but it's definitely cleaner than the next one.

                                   

This one is for my girly ballerina.  I hope she likes it.  She's 8 and this is the first "grown-up" style card I've made her.



Little bits of love all clustered together.

Supplies:
Paper - Papertrey Ink, Girls Paperie Vintage Whimsey, Neenah
Ink - SU Close to Cocoa, Pink Pirhouette
Stamps - Papertrey Ink Chair-ished, On my Couch, Beautiful Botanicals
Accessories - Digital image - Made by Janet, Ribbon - Memrie Mare, Crochet Lace - May Arts, MS butterfly punch, stick pin, beads, button, twine, paper roses, chipboard heart, chunky glitter, sewing machine, paper doily


Pin It!

omgosh, how could she not love it? I hope you can tuck it in a frame for her, because it would look lovely hanging on the wall :)
I love the clusters you've created on both cards - they really draw my eye :)
