Have I mentioned that my husband and I do ballroom dancing? We have for about 27 years and have met some very nice people throughout that time! About 3 years ago a very unusual thing happened - a single guy started coming to one of our dance groups. You may wonder why that is unusual, but I gotta tell you, it is very common for women to come, single, unaccompanied women. In fact, we always have more women than men, and the men are very busy - lol! If a man attends a dance class, he is usually there because his partner asked him to come. So this single, never-before-knew-how-to-dance, guy starts coming to dance class. He learned to dance, met a super-nice gal from our class and they really hit it off! So much so that they just got married!!! We are all So Happy for the two of them!
So, I used a Mo's Digital Pencil image called Cutting the Rug for their card - it was just perfect! I colored the image with copic markers and paper-pieced their clothing. I cut out the image using my Silhouette Cameo along with a diecut for the lattice background. The paper behind the lattice is the same paper I used for her dress. I used a light gray copic marker to add some shading to both of their clothing. Instead of coloring the flowers in her hair I added a couple of small flowers and little sheer ribbon streamers with stickles added on the ends. I then placed some pearl hearts for accents on the lattice diecut. Congratulations to our friends, we hope they are very happy!
I am entering my card in the "Anything Mo Goes - Optional Theme: "Christmas" challenge #281.
I hope you have a wonderful day and Dance Like No One's Watching!
