Dress Form Love

I don't know about you, but I am loving the sewing trend that's been around for awhile in paper crafting. I can't sew to save my life (unless you count straight stitches on my card :), but love the sewing-inspired icons that you find in so many paper crafting products, including this dress form die that I designed for Spellbinders. Currently, these new dies are in stock! Get yours now at a participating Crafters Home store!  It coordinates well with the Spellbinders Elegant Posts dies.

I used Layers of Colors stamps and Simple Stories papers. The butterfly is from Fairy Wishes and colored with Copics. The sentiment is from Dotted Peonies and the wings are from Regal Wings and covered with glitter.

I'm entering this to Moxie Fab's challenges: Celebrating Hobbies and Random Fun.

LOC Sneak Peek: My favorite card!

I've been enjoying making cards with the new release sets by Layers of Color (available Nov 16!). I believe this is my favorite of what I've made so far. I used the Dotted Dahlias (flower and leaves), Elegant Labels (label frame) and Dotted Peonies (verse) on this card.The label frame was die cut using Spellbinders Labels 10.

I had so much fun making this layered dahlia, which you can see better here. I used seam binding for a bow, but didn't scrunch it up. I like that it's so soft and feminine.

Here's a close up of the flower, which was colored with Copic markers.

I hope you will join us for the new release hop on Nov 16th! It will surely be full of inspiration and prize giveaways! Have a great weekend!
