Fabulous Friend

Hello crafters!  I selected a piece of lilac card and used the Decorative Drapes Border and cut it into the card at the top and bottom of the card.  I backed it with a piece of black card.  I used the Stained Glass Harvest die and cut the outer decorative die in black.  I cut the middle die in white and layered it on top.  Using the Elegant Stroll die, I cut it out of milk card to create the base.  I cut it again out of lilac card for the dress, gloves and hat and cut the dog out of pale grey card.  I nipped away the dress and hat and glued it to the base die.  I coloured her hair, skin and shoes.  I put a little piece of lilac card over the dress in the die and cut it a couple more times.  I used the pieces to layer the dress with ruffles.  I added the piece onto the oval background and added it with mounting foam.  I cut the Art Deco Fabulous Friend out of black card and glued it to the bottom of the card.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimension are 7 1/2"  x  9 1/4" in size.

Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh this is gorgeous, I have used the lady and dog a lot lately, but am certainly going to try the layering. I think it is a beautiful die set.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Love the card, it's a shame there wasn't a male in the art deco release or you could have had a couple and or without the dog. WakeyL
