TPS Dressmaker card


Good morning or evening and thank you so much for dropping in.

I am a guest designer over at The Paper Shelter blog again and this week the challenge is everybody's favourite - "Anything goes". I am so thrilled to be designing for The Paper Shelter, they have the most gorgeous digi stamps ever!! Isn't this little dressmaker such a sweetie? As you can see she totally inspired this card by me making a "dressmaking" studio with 2 chipboard dress forms behind her. I heat-embossed them and the lace up chipboard in silver. The "dresses" are just different laces and ribbons glued on.

I couldn't believe my luck when I found my mini buttons while I was making this card! I had been searching for them for over a year and just when I needed them most they popped out of my stash (almost a shop hubby calls it lol). I only just added the non-adhesive red pearl "necklace" when I took these photos, the glue has now dried clear. I have some close ups so you can see how the card works from the side view.



Flourish with a Bling is now retail so please check out our website, we have some amazing value packs. We sell worldwide.

I hope you'll join in the fun at The Paper Shelter with their Anything goes challenge.

      Hi Deborah, thanks so much for your lovely comments on my card. The girl image is from The Paper Shelter. I have the link in my post above so click on the word "dressmaker" (should be in a different colour to the rest of the text) it will take you to where you can buy her from. Have a great day, XOX Lucy PS Let me know if you need more help to find her.
