Whimsical Wednesdays - the Diedrich Dare week 14

Hi everyone...Happy Wednesday! This week Madelynn gave us an inspiration challenge - this cute plate of The Wizards of Waverly Place. I'm not familiar with the show, but I guess it's popular now, and Madelynn found this fun plate for us to be inspired and create our cards this week. I'm sure all the Dare Devils will come up with fabulous projects (like always). Debbie isn't able to play, but check out everyone else's blogs - links on the right hand column. We have 2 new Dare Devils - Jacquie and Valerie. Welcome to the team gals! If you'd like to play along, make sure and let us know by adding a link to the Whimsical Wednesdays blog so we'll know where to find you. I have had fun making all sorts of Easel Cards since our easel card challenge a couple weeks ago. I used a Stampin' Up! retired set - "Doodle This" because I felt it had a whimsical fun feel - like this plate. I tried using some of the same colors (Lovely Lilac, Gable Green, Pink Passion and Orchid Opulence). I did some paper piercing for Jess (cause I know how much she loves it!!!). And you can't really tell in the picture, but there is stickles glitter on parts of the flower and around the pink edge.
Here is a side view of the Easel cards. They're so much fun! The sentiment inside the card says "Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you cry with your girlfriends." True, true!
Have a wonderful week! If you're in the midwest, you're probably enjoying this lovely white stuff on the ground outside. (or not!) Hugs...Darla
