Dress Up Days

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

This card uses some leftover background from the piece I used on the waistcoat card in this post. To recap - I used a piece of Heat Emboss Acetate. I added CS Glue. I misted with water and used my finger to spread the glue around and then sprinkled CS Pixie Powders over - I used Rich Gold, Silver Dream, White Pearl and Midnight Sky. I scrunched up a piece of White Tissue Paper, opened it out and added it to my background. I tapped it down using a piece of Kitchen Roll. I put aside to dry - approx 4 - 5 hours.

I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card with the Creative Expressions Tulip Twist Embossing Folder. I rounded the corners using the Woodware Corner Rounder Punch. I matted onto a piece of Black Card and popped onto a Coconut White Card blank.

I stamped the slim fit dress from the Woodware Little Black Dress Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Versafine Ink. I coloured the mannequin using Antique Linen Distress Crayon from Set 3 using a Water Brush. I cut it out using scissors.

Once my PP Acetate Background was dry, I dusted with an Anti-Static Bag and stamped the dress using Clear Perfect Medium. I added CS Black Detail Embossing Powder and heat set using a Low Speed Heat Tool. I cut the dress out carefully - tip : if you snip into the embossing and it comes away from the acetate, use a Quickie Glue Pen to glue it back in place.

I used a Quickie Glue Pen on the belt and the top of the bodice. Once the glue was clear, I added CS Sparkle Star Polished Silk Glitter.

I added the dress to the mannequin and popped onto my card using CS Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Black Detail Powder. I cut it out using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Rectangles Set B and a mat out of Black Card using Sue's Double Pierced Rectangles.

I tied a bow using 3 lengths of Black American Seam Binding and added a Craft Consortium Rhinestone Square Charm.

I finished my card off by adding a 5mm Black Pearl to each corner.

Thanks for stopping by.
