Here's the one I did for my sister. It started out with a piece of Tim Holtz Idea-ology Paper Stash - I thought the vintage dress pattern was perfect. Then because I have a few old tissue paper patterns, I used some to make a tissue flower, with three pearls in the center.
The sheer ribbon and cardstock are from my own stash. A Martha Stewart oak leaf punch was used and I found an old charm "sisters" to add to the ribbon.
I just printed out the sentiments. Inside it reads: "You never go out of style"
I hope she gets a kick out of it: that dress / hat combo is right out of our childhood days!
Your cards are outstanding and I'm loving the use of the brush as a holder! As for the fashion style being popular when you were a child....I thought you were way younger than me?! The picture reminds me of the 60s when I was a child! lol
ReplyDeleteHa! Nope, I think I am older than you - I was born in 1960! Thank you JoJo!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely card. Have you got the pattern? I have some and feel tempted to make the dresses. There's a brilliant pattern to download from the V&A museum right now for a sweet 1953 summer dress. Warning though, it'll take pages and pages to print the thing out. :)
ReplyDeleteI love vintage style paperie in any almost any fashion but Victorian style is SO pretty! Your card is beautiful.
