It's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and this week our theme is...
Luscious Lace
There is not much better, IMHO, than the combo of pink and lace so I was in heaven with this one! I also got to play with my beautiful new DP pad from LOTV - so pretty :-)
There are 2 bits of lace on here; the white one given to me by my mother-in-law and the pinky-brown one purchased in my local fabric/wool shop. I popped in yesterday to get some more thread for stitching and a whole rack of gorgeous cotton lace caught my eye so I just had to have some...and then I just had to use it!
I paper pieced all the sections of the dress and added a little shading with Copics, then sprinkled Frantage all round the edge...and on my desk/floor/myself just for good measure!

This is beautiful Kat! SO pretty and girlie. xxx
This is one of the prettiest cards I've ever seen. The overall call is beautiful, and your paper piecing is fabulous. The hair on this image is truly outstanding and after seeing this, I know I have to work on my technique. This is an outstanding card. I recently went into our guest bathroom and found Frantage in there. Now how did it get there?! Hugs, Gail
