Hi Everyone,
I have another card made using an image from the set Posh N Trendy from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. I think my favorite is that of the dress form and it was just what I needed to make a card for my friends birthday.
I paper pieced the dress form and then added a skirt using lace and some pearl embellishments. Not sure how I feel about it, because it hides the darling form so much.
So here it is without anything...What do you think? I would love if you left me a comment with your choice.
The sentiment is a traditional stamp and I loved using these papers with a sewing theme.
Here is a closer shot...
And a view of the entire set of images...
Thanks for stopping by to check in on me today and be sure to visit Lindsay and the rest of the design team for lots of great projects!

Hello Karin,
ReplyDeleteYou have made a wonderful card. I prefere the one with the lace and pearls. Those items make it just that little bit more special. And those buttons are a nice accent.
Greetings,
Karin
Love it! I like the plain one myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along with The Altered Alice! I like both versions. Maybe a compromise, like a belt of ribbon and lace around the hips? More embellished than the plain version yet still revealing the lines of that awesome freeze form! Either way, what a great card that any friend would be pleased to receive.
ReplyDeleteI like both of them... but the one with lace is strikingly pretty and feminine. You make lovely cards...
ReplyDeleteThanks for becoming my follower... am so glad!

You can definitely see the benefits of both Karin, the lace adds a wee bit of romance and feminineness to it yet the second is beautiful without the lace.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, I prefer the plain one but the lace one is also beautiful
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing with us at ooh la la this week

This is gorgeous, Karin! I actually prefer it with the pearls and lace skirt because it balances the buttons and twine. I love all the details and beautiful greens on this card!
ReplyDeleteLove 'em both, but I'm a CAS girl so I tend to like the unadorned card a tad more. I love the feminine form in this set, too!!
ReplyDeleteI'm no help, I love them both, Karin! The colors, sentiments, and embellishments (or lack of) are just perfect. I'd say make two! :)
ReplyDeleteI love them both too Karin! Who could choose between both beautiful versions! I love the sentiment you paired it up with.
ReplyDeleteI love the plain one. Even though I am a huge pearls and lace fan, I like seeing those nice mannequin hips haha!
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna be much help as I love both of your cards lol Thanks playing along with BBD, hope to see you next time too

Hi Karin
ReplyDeletefabulous card and colouring amazing! I love green
Such an awesome card, Karin! I hear you on the dress form, but I like it even more with the skirt, because it's so perfect-looking!
ReplyDeleteI like the skirt too!
ReplyDeleteThey are both awesome, Karin! I know, I am no help...
ReplyDeleteoh girl, wonderful color combo and love all the details you incorporated on this card. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOoh! I love both cards but I think the lace and pearls kicks it up a notch on the cuteness chart. I've got to CASE your super cute cards. TFS
ReplyDeleteBoth versions of your card are cool, but I prefer the lace. Thanks for sharing them in The Altered Alice challenge.
