Girlz, am I ever glad our hostesses set the stage for an encoure! Ida been sunk if not...I want to thank stampin andrea for the 'This Costumes' a Cinch' challenge...just wish I had taken a picture at 45 minutes...I think I was crop-o-dialing eyelet #infinity for my corset! I hope you'll take a look in the encore gallery for I was definitely inspired by your pretty corset and the generosity of the templates' designer SARA SANDBERG.
I probably spent 45 minutes looking for just the perfect paper. Daisy D's was my choice. I printed the template on the back of my DP. One side of the corset is cuttled with the textile ef. I used teal eyelets from Making Memories and a stretch black cord to lace. I stamped Just Rites little stampers, the words Passion, Journey on the front and added a epoxy heart that says 'hugs' to the top lace. at the bodice I applied vintage lace. For my pull out, I used a Design Originals collage paper...using the eyelet punch from Fiskars down the right side. On the back is a place to write a note.
I love how this card turned out, in only 1 1/2 hours give or take another hour! This goes to a coworker who is finally getting new ta tas next week...I thought she needed something pretty to put them in!
I am editing to add it is reconstructive surgery for my friend...didn't want to miss lead anyone!

Susan, I think I would still be setting eyelets. This is fabulous. Love the color and texture of your lavender paper. I hope your friend feels better after her surgery.

Oh, Susan, you are killing me with your story of your friend getting new Ta Ta's next week! I so see why you made the naughty list!!! Just this - uh, revealing card of lingerie is enough, but then to mention your friend getting new Ta Ta's!! You've got me crying with laughter!
It's gorgeous though, and though personally, I'm sticking with the Ta Ta's that God gave me, for better or for worse, I am certain she will appreciate this card.
And look what happened to me today! I think it was Jenn Balcer that changed my moniker to Naughty or Nice???? It just happened like magic - and MotherMark got the Naughty Hall of Fame on hers!! I nearly died laughing - and I think it suits me!
