The teapotters are sending cards to Anita's Mum who is turning 80 on July 19th. So that means my card will be fashionably late. They cannot be together because of Covid as originally planned, so we are showering her mom with cards. We are supposed to represent some type of nylon on our card. I am sure this lady was wearing nylons when she posed to be made into a stamp, lol. The tulle ribbon hanky is probably polyester but I'll never tell.
I sponged the edges with abandoned coral, then ran the gold dauber stick around the edges and on her flowy back part of her dress and then daubed it around her feet. I used lots of thick foam dimensionals on the back. You should see how many ribbons etc. I pulled out to bring this card about but nothing was clicking. Finally settled on the crochet trim. Gold sharpie for bracelets and more copic R22. Trashed my first attempt, but it was fun as I proceeded. I am happy with it and I hope it brings a surprise smile to Annie!

As soon as I saw your card I started singing the old song - "Isn't she lovely" - Marvelous vintage image and treatment with the crocheted lace embellie and "nylon" tulle hanky.
