A girls got to have a pink dress.........
Thrilled to have been chosen as The Headliner with my Card....Thank you so much x
And
A winner over at The Twofer Challenge----Thank you, made my day....x
The CAS Watercolour Challenge this month is Garden,
which inspired me to make a garden themed CAS card.......
Yey to the Outstanding Design shout out....Thank you x
The stamp I have used is a poppy stamp by Penny Black from 'Blooming Garden'.
I used it as a poppy in my garden themed card
and reversed it, fussy cut it
and coloured in many shades of pink for my Birthday Girl Dress card.
I had so much fun making this card....
The flourish was stamped in grey archival and in parts I popped on Mica Flakes.
The dress and card is all girly and swirly....
The dress has been water coloured with many shades of pink, using Lindy's Magical powders.
The Happy Birthday sentiment is a crisp upright font to contrast,
with the swirls and is by Happy Little Stampers.
I finished off with silver stickles and popping up the centre panel onto foam.
My Garden themed CAS card has been water coloured with Lindy Magicals too
but the flat ones, which have no shine.
I masked the poppy's and then stamped varies individual flower/grass stamps in the background.
The fun element of the spiders web has been embossed in silver.
I also popped up a rectangle panel onto black foam to add further interest.
Contrasting cards in style and occasions and boy did I have fun x
Thank you so much for finding the time to stop by, I really do appreciate it.

WOW! What a brilliant way to use that poppy stamp to create the gorgeous pink dress! Never in a million years would I have thought of that! Love the flourish behind it and the bit of sparkle from the Stickles.
And your flower garden card is beautiful too - great masking of the poppies to stamp the grey stems behind them. Love the addition of the spider's web and the overlaid panel for the sentiment. A fabulous card! Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Watercolour!
I'm so glad you had fun, Mac! It sure was fun to see your incredible designs and read about the process! These are both truly breathtaking, thoughtful, and impeccably made: all Mac, all the way!! The poppy garden is so serene and then the poppies themselves just pop off the scene and the addition of the spider web is genius! Well, now, wait, maybe I used "genius" too soon because what then do I say to describe the Oscar pink carpet gown you described???? Untwoferlievable!! I have no other words and it takes a lot to make me speechless! Thank you so much for playing along in Twofer Card Challenge #3! Hugs, Darnell
oh I love both of these cards so much. my fave poppies and a fashion dress. I was wondering where you got the dress stamp from when I read on and realised how you'd made it - utter genius - just fantastic.
How clever! Two fab cards
Oh my gosh Mac...I don't even know where to begin on commenting about these 2 FABULOUS cards! I came over to comment on your GORGEOUS water colour card for CAS Watercolour, and got treated to both of your lovely, lovely cards! Your Poppy card is absolutely beautiful and coloured to perfection!! Using that same stamp for your pink dress on the birthday card...I am absolutely floored and smiling ear to ear! Wait till Darnell sees this...I think she's going to flip! And if she doesn't...send her to me!! That card is absolutely STUNNING Mac and I can see why you had so much fun with it! Two absolutely breathtaking cards Mac!! :0)
Wow! Both of these cards are stunning and what a clever idea to use the petals to create the dress on your second card, which is absolutely stunning. The pink and silver against the white background is such a wonderful colour combination and I love your layout too. You are such a talented lady and it’s always such a pleasure to visit your blog. Two fabulous cards Mac x
These two cards are incredible! Your poppies garden is so beautiful and creative in design and I dearly love that you added the spider web. And then... say whaaatttt?? That gorgeous dress and, ohhh, those flourishes. I'm in awe!
Oh my gosh, Mac ... you are so clever!! I LOVE how you've used your poppy stamp to create the most beautiful ruffled pink dress. Gorgeous card with shine from the mica flakes and lots of sparkle.
Beautiful watercolour poppies in your garden. Adding the background features in gray is such a great idea to really bring the focus on the poppies. Spiders and webs are in real gardens, but rarely see them on a garden card ... lots of fun and whimsy with that. Again, another beautiful design, Mac.
Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge, and adding your poppy card to the CAS Watercolour challenge! xx
WOW Mac what stunning creations, wonderful designs using that one poppy stamp. I absolutely adore the pink dress, who clever an idea, and the silver and pink together is gorgeous. Your garden card is so elegant and stylish, beautifully designed, Kate x
Two stunning cards Mac, fabulous use of a stamped image, love the colours and details.
Pam x
Oh my goodness Mac! How creative is your wonderful party dress made from the poppies all layered! Both cards are beautiful!
Two wonderful cards Mac but that dress from the poppy petals is just fabulous - such a wow card! Thanks for joining my shades of pink challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
WOW!!!! Mac, I predict a winner with these cards! Love, love, love that fantastic dress! The flourish with mica flakes makes it even more special! Your poppy garden is made even more fantastic with the soft gray stamping and the raised rectangle! You sure did have lots of fun with these! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!
This dress just took my breath away. You're another crafter who sees 'out of the box'. I don't have the knack of doing that! Your Magicals coloring is just amazing and I love the bling. What a gorgeous dress you have created. Also loved the blaze of red on the 'flower' itself, and I like how you've done such a subtle spotlight with this lovely PB flower. I loved that you've done the shades & hues of red for both cards. Clever all the way round! TFS & Hugs
Mac... I am not sure which card I love more! WOW... they are both so wonderful each in their own right. The blossom pink dress... there are no words! Thanks so much for joining us at The Paper Players this week!
WOW FACTOR CARDS, these are stunning and how clever to use the petals for the dress, you are a true genius.x 💖 [Aussie aNNie's Blog]
What a treat to see you your beautiful cards, Mac! Those red poppies are gorgeous among the light silhouettes in the background. The spider web is such a fun and whimsical addition. Okay, now about that dress! I am in awe with how your flowers went from petals to prom dress! The silver flourish and touches of silver on her dress are fantastic, and the girl is the perfect size to work with the size of your petals! Both of your cards are breath taking! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
Mac, OMG one so clever and two out of this world. I love the flower dress, way too clever :) This has to be a winner :)
Both are lovely, but oh my goodness--the pink dress is absolutely stunning & something I would never have thought to do!
Gorgeous cards, I love the Poppy garden card with the subtle background stamping but the dress card is fabulous...what a great idea to use the petals to make a dress and it looks amazing :)
Hugs Kaz x
This is so ingenious and beautifully done! So impressed!
This is thinking outside the box at it's best Mac, and what a gorgeous flower scene with the bright poppies and the cooler coloured flowers and grasses in the background, and love the sweet spider's web, and then the innovative use of the flower for the beautiful skirt of the dress in that adorable pink, and with shimmer and shine with the gilding flakes on the flourish and the stickles added to the dress. I have this PB poppy and would never have thought to use it in this way. x
I'm speechless at what you have achieved, one on their own would have me open mouthed, but, the 2 are absolutely GORGEOUS. Such beautiful results with the stamping, the colouring, the designs and EVERYTHING else.

Thanks for popping over!!!! This card is such a creative delight!!!!!!!!
WOWZers - two stunning beauties! LOVE the poppies - one of my favorite flowers! You colored it beautifully! The second card is just so amazingly creative! That ombre petal dress is breathtaking!
Mac, each of your next cards is even more beautiful than the previous one. I love your creativity and such an unusual view of the world. The poppy dress looks stunning, it's perfect. Swirls, moves with the smallest body movement .... yes, I can see it, even though the card is theoretically very static. And your poppy meadow ... I love the contrast between colorful flowers and a silver background. Yes, I think it's a winning pair of cards in Twoofer :-)
Hugs,
BożenA
😱 OMG! Beautiful twofers, Mac! But I must say your bloom petals dress is BRILLIANT and S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G!!! I’m still trying to pick up my jaw from the floor. Congrats on being the headliner at The Paper Players! So well deserved... but I have a feeling that’s not the only challenge you're going to get recognition! Love! xx
Very creative, Mac! Both cards are absolutely beautiful. The flower dress is amazing!!!
Mar :)
Wow!! I think you have outdone your own genius with these two cards!! Do you ever just wanna hug yourself?! I'm bowing Mac!!
Patti
Two wonderful cards with the same stamp-woow! Love that frilly petal dress. And my eye immediately went to the spider web on the other card. I would never have thought to do that. Guess I better find me a web stamp :) TFS
Fabulous love both cards ;O)
Both your cards are so amazing. Wonderful floral design and love the colors. But taking that same set of floral stamps and making a dress design is just fabulous! I am sure it would be a dress befitting any special occasion. I think this would be a dress that a model would be wearing down the runway. Thanks for joining the Twofer Challenge #3.
Oh my word...these are beautiful!!
Gee I missed this posting M. You really know how to make something over the top sensational. Both these cards are simply so beautiful. Love the layers on the gorgeous pink blingy dress then you go and add more glamour with that stunning flourish.
And then there are the poppies! Love the colours and how you have made them dimensional. Beautiful background especially THAT spider web. Glad there wasn't a spider hiding somewhere.
If only I could come and play with you.
Wow!!! Amazing cards, Mac! You have been so creative in your use of the wonderful poppies!
Fabulous ideas, beautifully made. The pink dress is such a clever idea and the poppy card is just lovely.
WOW, mac ! I just saw your stunning cards in the Twofer challenge .... great minds think alike ! I'm totally in love with both of them. Your poppies card is a pure beauty ! What a gorgeous contrast with the grey and red and the design to creative ! LOVE it ! And this pretty dress, so beautiful with all the dimension, this pretty colour and the delicate touch of silver ! Really an eye-catching post (again !). Thanks so much for sharing these two beauties !
Wow, Mac ... jaw droppingly gorgeous ... both of them! Beautiful bold poppies, lovely with the subtle background stamping, love the addition of that fun spider's web! That dress ... oh my goodness, dress doesn't seem enough, I should have said elegant gown ... brilliant creativity, wonderful execution, beautiful outcome ... it's a stunner in every way! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)
2 Wonderful cards,Mac.The dress on the second card is stunning.
Gr,Sylvia x
Amazingly creative Twofer cards using your poppy stamps in such different absolutely Stunning ways...! Having both your cards turn out so beautifully would really add to your fun, fun creative day:-)
TFS your poppy card with us at CAS Watercolour. I love your rich magicals colors for your poppies and your soft grey more subtle garden background. So pleased you joined us Mac.
Your detailed pink very girly poppy dress was an act of genius my friend. TFS both beauties. Hugs...
I just fainted at the beauty and ingenuity of your two cards. Amazing!
Congratulations on being selected as the Headliner at the Paper Players, Mac! I knew you would! :-)
What a clever way of using the poppy stamp - a gorgeous ruffled pink dress in 3D! Just amazing. Mica Flakes and Magical powders add shiny elegance to the card. The flower hair accessory is a pretty accent.
Your garden card is also beautiful. The poppies are painted so beautifully with Magicals. It takes time, but it's work masking, isn't it? I also love the background gray stamping and the silver heat-embossed spider web. Can I say one more time? "AMAZING creations!" Hideko xx
Congratulations, Mac. You deserve it. Your cards are always fabulous! Kisses, my friend.
I don't even know where to begin after viewing these twofer masterpieces! Oh my goodness girl you took that poppy stamp and quite literally turned it on its head to create your stunning girl in a dress card. Very couture and wonderful. Love the silver touches and flourishes. Your vivid red poppies and silver details in the background of your first card are also breath taking.
Thanks so much Mac Mable for inspiring and sharing with us at the Watercooler Wednesday "Any Occasion" challenge this week.
wow and wow again....so creative...so beautiful, wonderfully creative, love them.
xx Karen
