This is my card for this week's fashionable MMTPT498 Tea Party. As with my recent thistle garden card, I was delighted because I have been wanting to get Belle inky again and this challenge was the perfect opportunity. In keeping with the teapot I used plaid...and several other papers from Basic Grey's Little Black Dress. Belle is paper-pieced and fussy-cut. I did make a couple of matching DP buttons but they didn't look right, and I was happier with the tiny pop of colour from adding the red gems.
The center step tutorial is available in our Tutorials section.
I have posted to many different European countries over the years but I do believe this will be the first time I've sent anything to the Netherlands!

Fussy cut???? Wow. Sabrina, this is one of those art moments when you see something and just want to sit and look and study. Wonderful elements to combine the challenge and the theme. Great layout. Just spectacular.

That is some serious fussy cutting Sabrina and it looks absolutely fabulous. Your vintage lady looks wonderful on this terrific centre step card. I'd forgotten how great this fold is to showcase papers and other elements.
