Dreams of paper.

6 Die cut ladies, dressed for an occasion ,  a ball, a romantic dinner or school prom. Each is looking their very best, and hoping this is the happiest of times. 6 cards, with no sentiments, as yet but each i hope is magical in it's own way. The backgrounds are from CraftsUPrint.com i've printed then on ordinary paper, so they have a slightly faded quality, the lady in her dress the main focus. No faces drawn on, but that adds to the whole idea of the cards, they could be the person you are sending them too, or the dream of the young girl or lady, the hope that one day they will own a dress like this.

So right now they have no writing on, no sentiments added, whilst i decide what style or greeting to place for each design, or should they stay blank, so a message can be hand written by the sender. That is for me to figure.

 The next 4 cards are younger ladies, are they off in some wonderful city, or in an art gallery? Are they having the trip of a lifetime, or a shopping trip with friends. Each was placed on backgrounds again from CraftsUPrint and again i have printed on ordinary paper, the faded looked needed again, the ladies are the important ones, in their outfits, carefully picked for each trip. I have brought these young ladies from a seller on Ebay. Unlike the other ladies, these arrived already dressed, awaiting their adventure.  Ebay ~gingersnapz0
And the final two, ladies on the beach, enjoying a summer day, or that beach in a sunny place abroad, dressed by myself, using templates and die cuts to choose the right outfit for their day. Are the seagulls awaiting snacks when they have the ladies lunch, or are they admiring the ladies for their beauty on this sunny day? And who will they throw the ball too? All questions that appear for each card. Backgrounds again from CraftUPrint.

So what adventure are you planning with your next set of cards? What dreams can you create in paper and card, for the person to enter as they open their card? Each card must mean something, no matter how small and that personal touch is the delight that awaits every person who gets a homemade card. Happy Crafting!
