This card is in honor of today's FS Tricia Traxler, (aka T. Joy). Believe me her gallery was a joy to go through, so many sweet cards it was hard to choose. But I finally decided to case this card of Tricia's because I loved her layout:
I changed the image, colors, the border punch, added button brads and a spool of thread in place of flower. Added some faux stitching to compliment the sewing theme. I thought the nestie shape went well with the dress form - sort of an hour glass shape
I have to share another fantastic garage sale find. The spool is colored with a TH Distress Marker that I bought for 25 cents. I bought 9 others for the same price. Pretty good, huh ?
Thanks so much for taking a closer look, hope you like it

Barbie, love your color pallet, and fab image. I love dress forms, and always imagine making a card display from a vintage find (ooooo...year sale wish list!) How great to find such a great buy too, that's almost as much fun as stampin'! Beautiful case Sister! Hugs....

Beautiful vintage style card, Barb. Lovely DPs, image and dressmaker details like the buttons and thread....and stitching around the main panel. A lovely card to honor Tricia.
