Creating Pretty Cards Week 2

I wanted to make another card for the Challenge at Craft Project Central and I was inspired by one of the cards entered the first week to rotate the sketch and create a special birthday card.

I have a “dress” which I created using the Scallop Circle Bigz Die and to save Designer Paper I cut a strip wide enough to cover the template and then cut three sections of the Scallop Circle Bigz Die  from the strip.  From the left overs I cut three more sections to create the “petticote” or trim for each layer.  To complete the dress I just traced around my template to get one full size dress and two shorter frills.  I used Mini Glue Dots at the “waist” of each of the shorter dress pieces and dimensionals under the frill of each section.  I wrapped the “waist” with Whisper White 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon.  My little flower is just a 1-1/4″ circle of Whisper White card stock which I cut in a spiral and rolled to create a small “rose”.  I cut the leaves using Old Olive card stock and the Two Step Bird Punch.  These are attached over the ribbon using Mini Glue Dots.  The dress is attached to a piece of Whisper White card stock with one corner rounded.  I punched a long narrow strip of Wisteria Wonder card stock along one long edge using the Scallop Border Punch and attached it behind a piece of Pretty in Pink card stock.   The dress panel is attached on top and the whole piece attached to another layer of Whisper White card stock.  I wrapped the bottom with the very pretty Wisteria Wonder 3/8″ ruffled ribbon and tied a bow before attaching the whole piece to scored and folded Wisteria Wonder card stock.

I have two granddaughter’s celebrating birthday next month and I think this will make a great card for one of them.  What do you think?

Bye for now, Kris.
