Happy birthday

Today's card features an apron die that's transformed into a dainty party dress.


I started with a piece of mustard card stock, embossed it with a basket weave texture and stuck it to a card base. I cut the apron die pieces and bow from snippets of patterned and mixed media paper. The bow is from a balloon die set, and it was just the right size to add some flair to the dress. I coloured the straps, waist band and bow with markers and assembled the image. The print is quite bold, so I added a snippet of pink lace at the bottom. I stuck the dress to the card. I fussy cut a sentiment from the patterned paper pad and added it at the top left. I used some pink pearls to embellish the sentiment and the dress and complete the card.

  2. That's a lovely card Franka! I would have worn dresses like this on holiday more years ago than I care to recall - very pretty! And that's a wonderful embossed background.
