Oops

I feel kind of bad.  Instead of turning the page of my birthday calendar at the end of January (or better yet, in the middle of January), I turned it this weekend.  And I missed a friend’s birthday.  But it gave me a chance to use the new Twisted Threesome set by My Favorite Things.  (Some of the sentiments in this set may be offensive to some.  Just thought I should point that out.)

Where was my head?

This sentiment cracks me up… so perfect with the WTG images.

The fancy velvet ribbon with ruffled trim was a gift from my sweet friend, Jody.  (I love it!)

As you can see, I paper-pieced the entire image (even the tiny candle flames).  I didn’t want the big polka dots on the dress as is on the stamp, so I used a teardrop black Memento stamp pad, carefully inking around the outer edges of the dress with the pointed end of the pad.  It worked great. 

The remainder of the sentiment helps to finish the inside:

This card will be going out in tomorrow’s mail…unless I forget to buy stamps in the morning.

And I’m trying to work up the nerve to use my favorite sentiment from the Twisted set.  We’ll see.  🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
