All Dressed up for CCCB

Happy Tuesday to you ...
Time for another challenge at City Crafter and this week we have our creator Kirsty to thank for the lovely inspiration photo and the challenge ...


... which as the title suggests is to make a card or project with an image of a Dress or Dress Form ... isn't that fun? ... Such a popular theme in the crafting world right now so I hope that you will all join in ...
I so enjoyed this challenge and can't wait to see what you all come up with ... here's my card


The hardest part was making the little necklace ... so fiddly!


I stamped a dress form image from my Craft secrets stamp set and paper pieced the bodice and cut a skirt freehand ... gorgeous papers from Prima printery ...


Yep ... really Love this challenge!
Please hop over to the blog and check out the lovely work from the rest of the team and our lovely Guest Designer Inger Harding ... a lady who makes the most beautiful creations... you won't be disappointed ...

I'm keeping this post short as I am off to North Wales for the day!! My hubby is taking my friend and I for a day out at Betws -y - Coed ... fingers crossed it doesn't rain! 
Have a beautiful day and thanks so much for stopping by
