Good morning blog friends! We are going French today, oui, oui! This is one of my favs from the show. My photography just does not do it justice, but I started with some background paper that I found while in FL. from Websters Pages (I am fairly certain that it can be found in the UK too). I cut three strips and covered them with our self adhesive sticky sheets. I peeled the backing paper off and covered them in clear micro beads for texture. I matted each strip with milk card and then taped them on to a background piece of blush card. I stamped one of the JustRite French Frill tag stamps on milk card and cut it out with the matching Botanical Swirls die. I inked it lightly with Tattered Rose distress ink while it was still in the die, then used a bit more to deepen the roses on the stamp. I used some black tulle and threaded it through either end of the tag and tucked the ends around the back of the card and secured them. I tied a bow and added it to the right hand side. I cut two of the French Frills dressforms out of black card. I decided to use just the stand and replaced the dress portion with stamped versions from the same Just Rite stamp set. I inked them with Tattered Rose also and cut them out with the matching die. Using mounting foam for height, I added them to the centres of the dress forms. On each dressform, I added three small flatback pearls to the neck. Across the card strips, I added a lovely spray of swirlie pearls for interest. I decided to go with a black mat to balance my dressforms and tulle and I pierced the inner layer to finish my card. Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" It's one of those no particular purpose, girlfriend type of cards, but I love it! All for now, Sue x

Such a wonderful card here today Sue. I just love how youput the pearls on the dressforms. And these swirls are just gorgeous, just a shame they´re soo darned expensive, cause they would look soo great on soo many things.

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue. Lovely card but I'll let you into a secret. I have a real aversion to those dress stands. They really scare me for some reason. Perhaps i was frightened by one as a child. Who knows!

Hi sue, this is one of my faces from Sunday's show too! Gorgeous use of colour, I love the way those stamps can be used to pattern the dress forms. Another set for my wish list! Really enjoyed your shows on Sunday, sorry I've been AWOL from the comments for a couple of days, iPad was playing up, but I loved the cards. They have reached a whole new level this week!!! Maddy x
