Penelope has made a beautiful new plaid dress for the tea party. The problem is it is a tad short and her lace petticoat shows at the bottom. I hope Uncle Grump will not be too upset that his granddaughter is showing her underclothes! She doesn't want her dress hauled to the dump.
I got three challenges into this card! I thought the plaid idea was fabulous. My mom has to clean out her craft room so it can be repainted. I was looking through her stuff before I moved it and found this stamp. I was so excited, a dress for Penelope and a solid surface to try out the plaid technique for TLC284! Kismet!! I took Julia's (Artystamper) advice from when she made the comfy chair and tried to make the bodice have a smaller line plaid to give the dress some definition. Ooh, there are some blooms in the BG paper for Blossum. Maybe the leaves can be made into tea for Bea.
Lastly, I can't make a layout on my own, so I went through my sketch challenge book and found SC224 that had a large enough focal panel to fit the dress. (Yeah Roxie!)
The dress was stamped, cut out and popped up on dimensionals.
MotherMark-I made it to Texas! I so love not having any schoolwork for a few weeks.
