Moxie Fab World: Tuesday Trigger: Finesse the Dress

I've been cleaning and organizing all day, so I took a break to play this week's Moxie Fab World: Tuesday Trigger challenge, which is Finesse the Dress:

My first thought was some pretty paper I bought yesterday at The Paper Source. I went in for 5x7 envelopes and came out with those and three parent sheets. I am weak. One of them was perfect for this challenge, though. Lookie:

The patterned turquoise of the bottom of the dress made me think of this paper, even though it's gold and turquoise. It's like a heavy-weight Mulberry paper, and I wet it to tear a piece to fit my card front. It's layered on a piece of SU Brushed Gold card stock, and wrapped with some (retired) SU gold cord. The charm is from my stash (from the now-no-longer Custer's Last Stamp).

I was going to leave it without a sentiment, but decided to add the gold Class A Peel sticker. Here's some detail of the paper, charm and sentiment:

A fun and easy card. :) I love the papers I get at The Paper Source. They are gorgeous and can stand on their own without a lot of embellishment.

In other news, I've taken some photos of my re-arranging efforts today, so I'll post those later. I'll include details on a giveaway that resulted from the pruning portion of the show. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

  4. I love it! And IMO, the gold isn't too "bright" on your paper, so you can get away with it, even though the pic is silver/charcoal/greyish.

    Yay for run on sentences :P
