Made this for the Ways to Use It challenge today. When I thought of buttons and lace, it reminded me I had this dress form die set that I have not used. I have gotten it out a few times and looked at it, but then I would put it back thinking I have no idea what to do with this. Today was the day to figure it out. The tag is recycled, it came with some ribbon I ordered from Etsy, they put it in my bag for some reason. After 8 yrs of sitting in a ribbon drawer, it has found a home. The thread on the spool was bought at a yard sale and it was ugly, I figured I would never have a use for it, but today, I did. Hope you like my card and thanks for looking.
P.S. I hate trying to match pink colors.

Shirley, this is beautiful and I'm happy you got to use some of those things you had for so long or thought you would have no use for. I guess we save all these things for a reason. I especially love how you used the lace and I also really like the tape and buttons.

The tape, the buttons, the little wire hanger - all are terrific embellishments for your new-found dress die - what a great vintage card - laughed at your comment about matching pink - what a bummer!!

I LOVE your card!! The layout is awesome and all of the details together make such a pretty piece. The butterfly and it's color is lovely. I love your die cut dress with all of the pearls. Your lace is like icing on the cake. :>)
