Sew Shabby (chic)

Stamping Sensations challenge's theme this month is Sewing inspired, which is my opportunity to test my latest Rubber Dance stamps!
I decided on a shabby chic style with lots of lace motifs which I found on the Live and Love Craft blog.


I used textured paste with a Prima doily stencil on the Kraft background, a printed paper which I punched with a Martha Stewart border punch.
I stamped my dress form on a piece of Prima paper (old collection) and gave it a bit of colour with a pink Gelato. A scrap of tulle and a bit of ribbon creates dress in progress on the dress form.

For embellishments I added real and faux buttons, a doily,  other stamped elements from the same Rubber Dance set and a scrap of gauze.

Thanks for coming by,

Also entering the Polka Doodle , Tando Creative and All Sorts  challenge.

    Hi, very pretty card. I don't know if you remember but you commented on my snowflake over at Rubber Dance Scandanavian blog. First, I appreciate that. It seems most english speakers are afraid to comnent on a foreign language blog. I though all these tablets and i-things give instant translation. Course, if you never visit a blog in another language then you probably wouldn't know that!! Anyway, I did reply to your comment and try to encourage you to get out the craft knife and ruler but, would you believe? I was on the Docrafts site the other day and they have a die to cut the snowflake pattern. And it was on offer!! I don't know how big it is but i ordered and its winging its way to mummy's house ,so I will pick it up in november. Just thought I'd let you know. Hugz

    This is just so perfect for our theme Christine, the soft shabby chic feel to it and nice little touches like the threaded needle.

    Many thanks for sharing your creativity with us at Stamping Sensation challenge this month.

    Lovely card; so cute with the sewing accessories and clever to add the tulle fabric to the dress form. Thanks for joining LLC for our Photo Inspiration Challenge.
