I had a lot of fun with this challenge and I must say I couldn't pick just one bra to be inspired by, I used them all as my inspiration! Thanks Stef for another great site to be inspired by...I must shop BORING!!!
I have made this card as one of the survivors of the Australian Bush Fires so the sentiment was very fitting - not intended to be a pun!! I am excited to be getting PM's from members of SCS wanting to make cards for these people...please PM me for details if you would like...you can check out more information here:
I have used a favourite set for this card, my DH hunted this down for me on eBay and got it new for a ridulously low price - God bless that man!!! It is the only set I have with bras in Ãt and although they are not fancy (and probably very uncomfortable) as the ones in the IC...I have blinged them up with glitter pens in co-ordinating colours across the cup stitching, straps and the lace infill, but it does not show too well in the photo. The wardrobe is embossed then cut out, along with the doors - I could have done with The Buckle Man's help with this one! The edges of all layers have been sponged for a softer effect and the sentiment is done on the computer....I am happy with the finish and hope it will get a smile from whoever receives it - what do you think?!
Thank you for looking and for your kind comments, you inspire me!

Hi, girlfriend, this is the third time I have tried to leave a comment! I love your card, it is so 'fitting' for the IC and your encouragement cards. I especially like the harlequin bg.
