I fell in love with the mod yet vintage flair of this set. Here I chose to do a 5×7 card.

TECHNIQUE

I stamped the dress form in White Daisy pigment ink, then set it with a heat gun. Since it was dry I could highlight some of the words with our colored pencils. I inked the paper flower in Lagoon ( a turquoise color) to bring out the blue tones and then stamped it with the friend sentiment to add some depth.

Above the stamped “Friend” I cut a butterfly out from another sheet of Wings paper and to add dimension I added a paper butterfly which can also be found in the paper flower pack along with some black opaque embellishments.

I loved the flourish on the dress stand so I turned it upside down and used it for a border on the card. Then it looked like flower stems so I grabbed my paper flowers and started playing with them. I twisted them up around the bottom of my paper piercer ( kinda like when you made tissue paper flowers as a kid). I also stamped that same design on the red flower to add some pattern to the outer edges.  In the middle sits a corduroy brad to anchor it all down. You can’t have flowers without leaves so I freehand cut some out of the pattern paper
Once I started to twist and scrunch the paper flowers I was inspired to add a “skirt” to the dress form as well. I simply folded a flower in half and pleated it.  Every girl loves pearls so I grabbed some of our Opaque pearls to make a necklace and a belt.
I hope you enjoyed and will allow yourself some playtime when you get this fabulous set! The possibilities are truly endless.
