There's tons of fun, prizes and 2 sketches to choose from - one intricate sketch and one CAS version of the sketch so everyone can play.
Today I tried to go somewhat vintage. Not something I'm as comfortable with even though I melt when I look at vintage creations.
I chose to use Chic Boutique for my image and sentiment. I paper pieced the dress, added some copper sparkle to the stand and framed it with my Nesties 11 . The mat beneath the image was stamped with En Francais and the sentiment was done the same. I sponged, added some copper flowers, stickles, bling, ribbon sent to me by Priscilla - thanks Priscilla - and popped up the image, framing and 1st panel on dimensionals. I also paper pierced the first dp panel and embossed the second dp panel with the Fleur De Lis ef.
Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have an incredible week!

There's so much to love about this card: the subtle script background behind the dress form; the paper-pieced dress form; the nesties you matted it on; the shoe; the trim; the bling. It's really pretty, Pamzi!
