I came across these deliciously divine paintings while reading one of my favorite blogs, Elements of Style, and I knew I had to further
check out the talented artist, Holly Farrell. I was blown away with the colorful and real-like quality of her pieces, and I want them all
in my home!

Ooh La Frou Frou

I first stumbled upon these whimsical, elegant & divine ladies while checking out one of my favorite
blogs, Beautiful Things To Share. These glamorous fashionistas, created for the glamorous bride-to-be,
were exquisitely designed by the talented artist, Sandra Markwalder. What I love most about these
cards, besides the lovely designs, is that each diva has a unique personality & story behind its creation.
Let me introduce you to my new favorite girls....

This first wedding card is called, "Love's In Bloom", & stars the stylish "Hope" and her poodle, "Olive".
Hope is a city girl & loves to shop til she drops. Hope has just become engaged to her "Mr. Handsome",
& can't wait to tell her girlfriends & show off her sparkly diamond ring.

The second wedding card is called, "Glamour Girls". Here "Hope" {in the pretty white dress in the middle} brings her four gorgeous bridesmaids along with her to do some shopping. From the far left, there's the auburn haired beauty, "Alex". She loves to bake delicious goodies. Next, with her back to us, is the lovely "Tiffany", who has been told countless times that she look likes the actress, Audrey Hepburn. To the right of Hope, in the cute purple dress, is "Sunny" who hails from sunny Beverly Hills, California. This girlfriend can give Hope a run for her money in the shopping department. And, on the far right, is "Aimee", which means "loved". And let me tell you, Aimee loves Paris & everything about Paris.

The third wedding card is called, "Bridesmaids". In this card you see "Hope's" bridemaids modeling one of the design dress styles the ladies may wear in the wedding.

The fourth wedding card is called, "Maid of Honor", & features another Ooh La Frou Frou diva, "Violet",
who is Hope's Maid Of Honor. Violet is the girl that Hope, Alex, Tiffany, Sunny, & Aimee go to for
interior decorating advice. Her rockin' penthous apartment is a testament to the sophisticated &
glamorous style that she has.

The fifth wedding card is called, "Mother of the Bride". Here, "Hope" and her mother are in town
going from store to store shopping for that perfect wedding dress. She tries on lots of lovely gowns
& sparkly shoes fit for a princess.

The sixth card in this series is called, "Sweet News". Here you'll see "Sunny" reading the sweet
announcement of the bride-to-be's upcoming nuptials.

Did you have fun getting to know these darling ladies? Well, if you want to stay updated on when
new cards will be available, just become a fan of Ooh La Frou Frou's facebook page, here.
