Hi everyone! What do you think of the new vintage dressform stamps? These are being released later this month and I just love them! There is a new vintage dressform embossing folder too. For this card, I stamped the three dress forms and the sentiment using black archival ink. I used the vintage dressform embossing folder and placed it so that it slightly overlapped the stamped images. Once embossed, I sanded the raised areas to highlight and distress it. I used my scissors to distress the edges of the card too. I lightly inked the edges with frayed burlap. I added a bow made from the cotton hemp ribbon but cut the ribbon down the centre to create a more distressed looking bow. I topped it with a sand coloured zipper rose and some black rhinestone swirls. I offset this on a piece of dark brown card that I also distressed. I added a couple of faux screw brads to the top corner to give the piece a more grungey look. I just love vintage! What do you think?
On another more personal note, I was contacted by Bim Habeeb who is a regular blog follower and she is soon to have surgery on her shoulder. Bim is a qualified midwife and has asked me if I would let everyone know about a petition that she supports and needs some help with getting signatures. I feel as if this is a worthy cause so I am placing a link here to the petition, should you like to learn more about it go to

Another great project here Sue. I love the dressfoem stamps and embossingfolder, but wouldn´t have chosen these brads thoug, but that´s just because I feel they fit more for a male card, but the work on it is really awesome and looks really cool, I think.
Have a wonderful week-end ahead everyone and lots of fun I hope.

I don't always like vintage...being such a spring chicken myself?!!.. but, as usual, I love the way you link everything together from the embossing (which looks a bit angelic) to the fitting sentiment. Nice job!

Hi Sue,I was really pleased to this card as I've been eyeing up the folder for a few weeks now but haven't bought it as of a shortage of ideas on how to incorporate it into a design- until now! so another big thank you for sharing and being so inspiring. Am hotfooting it tomorrow to my local craft store to purchase the folder. Best wishes, Theresa
I love love love your card!
Hi Sue,
what a different card! I love those stamps and the embossing folder looks wonderful and will be so good for all my steampunk cards. Another of your alternative Sue cards and I love it.
It's so lovely of you to show Bims link to the Midwives Petition; I put this on my facebook page a few weeks ago because I believe we must support our NHS workers or we will loose them.
We are the nation and we each have a voice, but we have to use every single voice if we want things to change.
I can't wait to see what goodies you are bringing to us at the end of Feb. All the best Linda
Love this card, just one thing, where is the embossing folder from? Many thanks for the inspiration.

Take care, lots of love
