Hello all,
They should change the name of CAS to KISS for people like me (KISS-Keep it simple stupid) Heehee! I've dressed my girl in her new back to school dress and shoes. My floor is made from twine wrapped around my wood block and then stamped with the edging color in multiple directions. I WAS going to put the pattern all over but decided that would just be too distracting for my little girl and her cute dress. The dress, shoes, bow was cut out of a single piece, I just used both sides...that worked out well. I did add some shading to give a little form and definition to the patterned paper. I added a small flower to her belt but I did have to trim all the petals because even a small flower was too big. You probably know that these dolls are a little large so my card is over-sized at 4 1/2 X 7 1/8". That actually helped the letters fit better though, so it all worked out well.
Thanks for looking!
