Dress Form

Good Morning all!

Here's a  little card I made using elements from a kit I got a while back.

I've used Dottie Card from Anna Maire Designs for the 6x6in base.

I added a dotty sheer ribbon bow & a dotty button which was 

the spare button from a blouse I had.

The border with faux stitching was part of the kit too.

I popped up the image & sentiment on some foam shaker tape

to give a bit of dimension et voila!

Super simple, quick & easy but I'm really pleased with it!

Thanks for popping in!

Fashion In A Flash

Good Moning all,

Here's another little card from me!

This card was made using a kit I got from Create & Craft.
It was really quick to make!

The card base is Dottie Card from Anna Marie Designs

The measuring tape was part of the kit as was the sentiment button.

Embellishment wise, I picked up on the buttons in the image,

 & added a few in similar colours  from my stash. I also 

added a little ribbon bow.

I popped the image & the sentiment up on some shaker tape

for a little bit of dimension!

I don't often use these kits for card making but they are super speedy

 to put together & can give you lovely results!

Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed your visit!

Mamma's Sewing

Good morning all!

It's Thursday & it's time for my DT card for 

Just Inklined!

The image I have used today is called

Mamma's Sewing

This is one of the recent releases & I thought I was just  perfect

 for Mother's Day!

Here's a closer look at the image!

As you can see I added some stitching around the image!

Don't laugh, at my sewing, it's an old sewing machine that I was given &

 I'm still trying to figure out how it works!

Not sure where the DP is from, it's been in my stash  forever,

I think I must have got it in a candy giveaway.

I added some little fish tails & buttons as well as a little 

lace double bow onto which I sewed a button!

The buttons & lace have also been in my stash forever!

A little side view of my card just for completeness!
The font I have used for the entiment is 1942 Report

Thanks for popping in!

Good Evening All,

I have a ladies card to share with you today!

I made it a little while ago, but I couldn't post it at the time as the 

recipient hadn't received it yet!

It was made for someone associated with a 

Theatre Group Costume Department

Hence the Shabby Chic Theme!

.

The image I've used is one of the Dress Form Trio images from 

Deborah Moore at The Crafty Pad Designs.

It's so versatile & suitable for many occasions!

The sentiment was created in my graphics program.

The base card was a brown 5x5 square card blank.

I added a matt of Cored'inations card which I tore around the edges

& rubbed with some Distress ink in Antique Linen.

Next I added a page from a very old book of 

"The Works Of Shakespeare" 

(I checked it's not valuable before I started to tear out the pages!)

This page is from The Taming Of The Shrew!

It was also subjected to the distress ink treatment after 

being crumpled then flattened out again!

I added a little piece of lace edging which was also distressed with ink.

The flower is one of a big package I received from Lee aka Crafty Loops

a while back! Her flowers are absolutely fantastic!

You'll see them popping up on my projects from time to time!

Just under the flower is a little metal measuring tape charm

I also added a pair of scissors with a tiny safety pin & a couple 

of buttons just to finish the card off!

I hope you like my card! 

I was really chuffed that the person I made it for was delighted!
