Sweet Stamps- Anything Goes

It's Tuesday- which means its challenge day at Sweet Stamps .  Our challenge theme for this week is Anything Goes .
 I had a blast playing with some new supplies from Sweet Stamps. For those who know me for a long time, you know I used to sew and smock alot- Oh the smocked dresses and matching American Girl dresses...... I have so many sewing friends from over the years- so could not resist the Vintage Dress Form Bookboard Accents set : )  I used DP and made a Crazy Patch background- even added lace and vintage buttons, plus some measuring tape Washi tape I had on hand.I used a scap of bookboard and made a wood spool and wrapped it with some thread.

  Sweet Stamps is the new owner of  Globecraft and Piccalo Accents. I had to play.....I used the Enamel Embossing Powder Adhesive over the bookboard, added the Enamel Embossing Powder (heated it first from the bottom) then heated it and added Glastique Gloss Finishing Glaze. Ohhh. the colors and textures are wonderful!  I used Brownstone on the dress forms and Vintage Copper on the flourishes.
 Here is a closer look:

i don't sew. sewing and i NEVER got along at all. never! yet crochet, knit, cross stitch and i did get along until my arthritis set it. funny, tho... i LOVE the sewing dies, emboss folders, images that are out there. i absolutely LOVE your card. the glitter is perfect. i may have to steal that idea next time i use one of my sewing images!

hope you're staying warm. i'm starting to think if i could afford it i would move to a warmer climate! NOT! i may complain, but i'd sure miss the beauty of winter!

hugs :)

It is beautifully fresh but with a sweet hint of vintage at the same time.
The background is so gorgeous as are those dressforms.

Lovely card, Shelly--but I wanna see some of that smocking! That's something I've always admired, but never, ever tried.

(Reminiscing of the days of dressing the girl child in sweet little smocked frocks . . .)

What a great idea to emboss the board pieces. They look great. I will have to remember that! :)

Sandy Fredrick said...

Wow what a wonderful design, I love the color and how you stitched together the background. Love the dress forms, flourishes, buttons and the little pieces of tape measure. Delightful!!

Beth Norman-Roberts said...

This is lovely. I love your crazy patch background. I never smocked but used to make crazy patch pin cushions in the shape of an old fashion ladies boot. Your dress forms are very intrigging too.
