BeeBee Stamps!: Midnight Flourishes

Hope House Home for Boys

The cards that I sell here in Chapala and Ajijic, Mexico benefit the dental program for the boys at Hope House in the nearby village of Ixlahuacan. There are close to 30 boys at the home and many of them come to the home having received no dental treatment. If you live here at Lakeside and would like to order a quality, hand crafted card for a special occasion and help me contribute to this worthy cause, please e-mail me at bettyinchapala@yahoo.com Card price is 50 pesos; the entire sales price is donated to Hope House.

Midnight Flourishes

I don't often make "frillly" cards but here's my attempt at one. I took the photo of the rose and all the lacy, flowery embellishments were given to me by a friend. I will be entering this card in two challenges:
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge 99 to use flowers of any kind.

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge 85 fancy, plain or in between (guess I'd be in between!)

Here are the two sketches:

Renee Matarese said...: This is so pretty! If you throw lace and pearls on it I'll love it! I love how long the trails on your bow are! All of the ripples really give it an elegant feel. Hope to see you at MMSC next week!

Happy New Year!
