The Dancing Nuns!
I made this card (Ode to Ouiser Boudreaux) last October for my mother to give to one of her friends for her birthday. Well, my mother has a friend in Florida who has a birthday this coming week, and she asked me to make one more. She’s quite sure that her friend will thoroughly enjoy it!
Quite frankly, this is one card that I myself enjoy making . . . it makes me want to put in “Steel Magnolias” and watch it once again! Someday I will find the perfect images to work with all the one-liners in the movie .. . . I’m working on it!
The nuns were colored with Copic Markers and then die cut/embossed with Spellbinders™ Circles. Instead of using pearls on this card, I decided to keep it more simple and used White Opal Liquid Pearls. I doubled one of the new Spellbinders™ Borders (Fair Isle) for my border at the bottom on the card. The computer generated sentiment is tied to a vintage button from my stash.
Here’s the inside
- Images: Joy from Mo’s Digital Pencil; Sentiment (outside and in) computer generated

I hope you are enjoying your weekend! Remember . . . life is short, enjoy the adventures of each day!
