Contrasting Thursday

Ismaki sketches are back from their summer break and this card is my interpretation of the latest sketch #29. I can't claim the dress is my idea, I saw it in the Glitter Pot and thought how great it was and brought the stamp it's a personal impressions one. The swirl and borders are both cut from the Storybook cartridge for the cricut and the flowers are made from various sized punches, the papers are BG Euphoria. I wish now I hadn't put the greeting on but it's too late now.
I've also had a go at Kazan's sketch 8 on 2 sketches 4 you, the flowers are made from a Simply Friends stamp that I've had a long while with ribbon in between the two layers. The papers are from Papermania that I've distressed with the side of a pair of scissors not sure if this work but sure does make a mess. I stitched the lace on because there wasn't any place I could glue and hide it and the sentiment is Hero Arts.
A big Thank you to Mumur for this fantastic award, which she should be returned straight back because her fabulous creations really do inspire me.
