We have been doing a major decorating project at home decorating the study. I had the curtain fabric and borders since we moved into the house about 12 years ago. Needless to say fashion has changed and we don't want to use the borders any more. So I thought why waste them? So this card started off from a piece of Laura Ashley border.
I stamped the main image in versafine and then coloured using distress markers
and then coated the main dress with glossy accents. This was cut out with the labels 4 Spellbinders die and the edges distressed with Victorian velvet distress ink. I also stamped the JustRite floral flourish stamp around the edge, as this went rather well with the pattern on the dress. This was then edged with gold EP and layered up on Coredinations distress card.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
"Phindys Place - Button it""Stampin for the weekend - photo inspiration"
"Craft room challenge - Buttons and Bows"

Such a fabulous idea to use the border! Love the use of this stamp and to have the back skirts a different colour - truly lovely!
This is so beautiful. Love the layering and the "recycled" touches but flowers are something special. Thank you for sharing with us at the Craft Room. Suzanne
