Paper Pleats
I knew when they posted today's TLC that I wanted to make my card look like those cute little girlie dresses (remember, I have a BOY that is nearly a man now!)...you know the kind made of a delicate printed pattern with a little flirty pleated hemline, trimmed with ribbons and bows. I hope I managed to pull that off! I just love this bee and thought this Basic Grey designer paper would work perfectly, so I stamped him in Palette Noir ink and colored him with prismas and baby oil. I used my nestabilities to cut a scalloped mat which I placed on several layers of cardstock. I pleated some black dotted swiss paper with one torn and distressed edge and then added layered ribbons, layered buttons and bows. I kinda like the overall look of it...I hope you do too!
