What a wonderful Featured Stamper today, Beth! This is the first opportunity I have had to view Michele's gallery, but it definitely won't be the last! I love how she uses dressmaker details on her cards...so rich and full of texture. I chose this card Crafty Secret's Challenge CSSC07 by chelemom at Splitcoaststampers to say I love this would not do it justice. I just hope my case draws attention to this awesome artist!
Michele used the wonderful Scarlet from Basic Grey, I chose Perhaps. The background is stamped with the ARTIST definition left on my counter from yesterday, I used Adirondack raisin. I stamped my dress form in TH di brushed corduroy and embossed the stand in Antiquities rust ep. I colored the bodice with Copics. I used tulle in an orchid that I colored with VersaMagic and Copics to tone down the purple hue. Into my grandmothers' button box for three tiny mother of pearl buttons for the waist...leaving the strings from the button card attached. I used a real garter what I aged with Copic markers to a lovely beige color. I reversed the placement of my layout. Instead of lace at the bottom of the dressform panel, I used my neighbors' new Fiskar threading water punch and wove a strand of doll pearls through the eyelets.
I love my funky and slightly askew vintage card. Enjoy your day Michele! And thanks to all you gals for your comments!!!
