She is at the race track and has on a brown and white, spotted dress along with a wonderful floppy hat. I love that dress!! My daughter and I were at Stein Mart Department store last week, and they have a wonderful breezy dress with this same color and pattern. It was a filmy material in a shirt waist style. Oh, if I only had the kind of figure that could pull it off, I would have bought that dress! {sigh} I have thought about that dress ever since seeing it on the rack.
Then as I went through my DSP, I came across the polka dot pattern in the Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Paper. It was kismit! It was a way for me to express my love of the dress! So, long story shorter...I made a card.
I wanted to keep the card clean and simple, and I wanted that polka dot design to be a main focal point. I blinged up the card just a smidge by adding some Champagne stickles to the flower centers. (Didn't Julia's character sip champagne in the movie?) The flowers come from the Posey Punch set. A piece of Espresso Satin Ribbon to cinch the card's "waist", and a Curly Cute sentiment finishes it off.
Maybe not as glam as Julia Roberts in her dress, but I likey. Plus, it's easier to make this card than shed the 30 pounds needed to fit into the dress at Stein Mart! lol!
