The Ribbon Reel # 6

Hi all, today brings us another challenge from The Ribbon Reel! This fortnight we have a sketch for you to try, and it's a fabulous one! I am also entering this card into Crafty Catz Challenge, which this week want a vintage theme.

Below is the Sketch:




And here is my take:


I recieved my new Waltzingmouse stamps this week, and couldn't wait to get them inky!

The card is a multiple fold card that I got from my local craft shop - I call it a tri-fold card, but I'm sure it has a proper official name somewhere!

In line with the images I have used, I thought I'd try my hand at Shabby Chic - not something I'm entirely comfortable with, but I think it turned out ok!

Here is the side view:



I have used the newly released You're Lovely set from Waltzingmouse Stamps, and stamped the dressform onto some Martha Stewart patterned paper, then paper pieced a bodice in Rich Cocoa ink.


The Dressform is mounted onto two panels cut using a Go-Kreate die, both stamped with the flourishes from WMS Flourishes - Scallops and Dots, embossed in White Pearls embossing powder.



The large rose at the top is from The Ribbon Reel, as is the satin ribbon and lace trim through the middle of the card. The two smaller roses in the bottom right hand corner are from stash.


A close up of the shimmer from the pearlescent card base and embossed scrolls, they are so pretty in real life!



Before assembling this card, I distressed all the edges and corners of all the panels and card with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain.


The green leaves are vellum, and punched with a McGill punch.


This is the inside of the card unfolded - I decided to decorate the inside too, as it was visible from the outside.

On one of the panels, I simply stamped the dress in Memento Rich Cocoa onto some cream card, and on the other panel, stamped some more flourishes in Versamark and embossed with White pearls powder.


The ribbon and twine under the larger rose is from my stash.


After assembling all together, I finally added some cream pearls and some gems to the little Vintage tag, cut with nestabilities Fancy Tags.


Sorry this is so photo heavy, I just couldn't decide which pics to choose!
