All Dressed Up

It's hard to believe that Christmas is over and New Year's is right around the corner! Cath (from Moxie Fab World) has posted a new challenge along with some super cute cocktail dresses for your viewing enjoyment. :)

My New Year's Eve plans usually include two kids and pizza... so I don't really have any reason to dress up -- but it's fun to look at all of these trendy clothes anyway. :) Ahh... maybe one day.

So... instead of hitting a hot party, I decided to paper craft a card based on one of these dresses. HERE is the link for the dress (in case you're one of the lucky ones who actually get to wear one). ;)



And... here is my card:

I've hoarded this pretty paisley paper for a while & I finally decided to put it to use. (This layout is based off of Card Positioning System's #96 Sketch.) I sewed a vintage button onto the center of the flower & added some vintage hardware to the side of my card.

I'd love to see your "dressed up" card too! Leave me a link if you play along! :)


Supplies:

Stamps: Card Maker's Shapes by CHF

Patterned Paper: Black & Cream Paisley paper by The Paper Studio

Accessories: Bottlecaps Spare Parts by The Paper Studio

Kaiser paper flower
