I recently went to a class where we used the Stampin Up set "Gorgeous You". I really enjoyed using this lovely set and ordered them straight away.
I've made two quick cards using the same lady and a set of Spellbinders dies for matting and layering.
The papers I used are also from Stampin Up.
Just a bit of paper piecing and some ribbon and twine from my stash and the cards were soon finished.
I would like to enter this card into the challenge at
Try it on Tuesday - Lady in Red

Two beautifully designed cards Barb, the lady is very elegant and I love the papers, Kate x
I love both of your cards! It really is such an elegant image! I suspect she is going to be used a lot!! So pleased you joined us at Try It On Tuesday! Chrisx
Wonderful use of papers on both cards love the bold colourway of the first card these are great papers, the second has softer tones but is just as effective.
Two fabulous cards Barb and a wonderful way to paper piece. They really are super. Stampin Up do some nice sets...pity the don't sell at shows! .........and oh how I wish for a figure like your ladies!!!
I love the paper piecing on these--especially the stripy dress! This was the first set I had to have from that catalog.
Two lovely cards Barb and love your paper piecing

Great cards Barb - every time I see this stamp I wish I had a waistline like her!
Lovely cards Barb - that image is gorgeous, my granddaughter used it and fell in love with it in a Make and Take at the Farnborough show last month. It is perfect for paper piecing isn't it?

That is one on my wishlist... Your cards look so great! The red lady is my favorite!
Two fabulous cards Barb and I adore the idea of die cutting the shape to reveal the pretty patterned paper beneath, and then the slightly smaller die used for the topper, and the SU image is extremely pretty, also love the finishing ribbon and twine. x
Love both these fabulous glam looks. When I saw this set in the catalog, it didn't really appeal to me. Wow, the ways you've used with the paper piecing, sure makes it a standout. I especially like the treatment in #1 too! Well done! Bet this will help SU sell a lot of this set. TFS & Hugs
Just love your cards and I NEED that stamp set, not seen it before. Lynn x
