I made this card for a friend last summer when she lent us a couple of pasting tables to use to put outside our cottage when the village held a tabletop sale. Elizabeth is a keen and very skillful sewer.
I embossed the body form onto a piece of core card and rubbed back to show the white core. I distressed the edges with a distressing tool.
The dress and dotty papers are scraps that came in a magazine.
The "thank you" stamp is a wooden one that I keep out on my desk and the other two are from a Hero Arts set of sewing stamps.
I'm taking this card to join in at The Snippets Playground - Week 217

Lovely card Barb, your friend is a lucky lady xx
It's lovely & feminine, and since I 'used to be' a sort of sewer, loving sewing memorabilia, I really enjoyed this one. Love the clever way you've used the foam core to emboss & show the dress form. Love the dp motif, which is just perfect on this pretty card. Love everything about this one...colors, design, embellies! TFS & have a great week.
What a gorgeous card Barb. I love this.

Love the look of the embossed dress form, Barb! I've never made use of the white core in some papers, but you make me want to try it!
