The theme of the challenge that starts today over at Impression Obsession is "Sweet Thoughts". (a $25 shopping spree is the random drawn prize). I can think of different 'sweet' ideas including cakes & chocolates, yum yum, but it could also mean loving thoughts of someone.
The main image on this card is Impression Obsession's "Victorian Friends", one of their new releases, and I think it is very 'sweet'. This stamp design reminds me so much of hanging on to one of my younger Sister's hands when we were children. In fact I pulled out the photo that this stamp reminded me of & wanted to include it with this post, but my scanner isn't working... grrrrrrrrrr. NO we were not wearing Victorian clothing, it was taken in the early 60's, but we are holding hands & wearing new Easter hats. I can remember clearly how excited we were to wear them to Church for Easter Sunday with our matching little purses.
Impression Obsession stamps used: Cover a Card - Roses CC043, Victorian Friends E8884 & "Love You" C8863.
Dies used: Crealies CLCS12-leaves, Die-namics -rolled roses, Spellbinder Deckled Rectangles S4-202
I stamped CAC Roses with black Versafine on White & Purple Cardstock for the backgrounds. I coloured the Victorian Girls with my Prisma Pencils. I stamped the CAC Roses on Pink & Mauve Cardstock before cutting the rolled roses. I used Star Dust Stickles as accents on the hats & dresses.
Thanks for your visit and have a great day !
Shirley

That image is so sweet Shirley and I love the layout and the colours, we still have lots of snow here and more expected over the weekend, hugs hun stay warm x
This is a little bit different for you Shirley, but I like it very much and the two little vintage girls are really sweet.
It looks like I also missed your last post, the contrast of colours and texture is wonderful.

Simply cute, a little bit of vintage and out of your comfort zone... So used to with your lovely flowers and other designs... Hope the weather clears up soon, wish I could blow sunshine over to your place.... Today is my yard day so I will be pulling weeds and pruning..

Shirley, this is a lovely card. I love the purple and your coloring is lovely.
What a delightful image and memory this card brings!
Oh, Shirley, I bet you and your sister were adorable. When you get your scanner working, please post it! Your card is absolutely perfect and definitely sweet!! It reminds me of those little vintage Valentines.
PS, Meant to remind you, too, Shirley, to please post the wedding photo when you get the scanner fixed! Ardyth is going to have it open the rest of the month so you have time. I hope!!
Don`t you just love it when a stamp can evoke such happy memoriesÉ Your card is very pretty. Thanks for playing with us at IO stamps!
Hi Shirley.
This is the most gorgious card you've ever made. I love the two girls, the colouring and the design. Thinking of you and your "little"
sisters playing around must give you a lot of memories.
Lovely, lovely card. "lieve groetjes" Saakje
This is such a pretty card Shirley.....love the image and how you've toned the colours of the roses to the girls dresses. It has certainly captured the vintage feel x
Wunderschön, Shirley...
die beiden kleinen Mädchen sehen entzückend aus, die Farben sind wunderbar gewählt.
Und der Hintergrund ist dieser schöne Rosen-Stempel von HA
Die Blumen hast du sicher selbst gemacht, die finde ich so toll, aber ich selbst kann das leider überhaupt nicht :-(
Die Karte ist sehr schön.
Herzlichst Sophie xx
These little girls are darling, Shirley. Love your memories, and the brilliant purple matting, which is not exactly centered - looks fabulous! You could easily have inserted your photo there and it would be a wonderful memory, wouldn't it? Sweet little dresses. Thanks for sharing!
Great how you fell in love with these stamp; that are also the things that make stamping fun! Love your choice of colors; totaly different to make the background black and white! Have a nice weekend, Gerrina

So very LOVELY ! I think the stamps you used are gorgeous (don't you just love those C-A-C's?). I love the colours you used, especially the purple, and the flowers are perfect.
