I came across this amazing Blog and found the cutest challenge and could not resist playing along ! Margaret from Alice & Camilla has invited us to play along with her
'Dress Up' challenge! Anyone can play and she is aiming to complete a dress by the end of each month. How adorable is that - it appeals to the 'little girl' in all of us!!
I used this template from Gini Owen and of course had to use the Layers of Color art stamp set - Merci Bouquet, the small flowers are perfect for this darling dress! They have been coloured lightly with SU Chalks and had Kindy Glitz added to the centers.
For the bodice I used some leftover embossed CS, using Divine Swirls embossing folder! I have sponged around the edges (LIGHTLY) of the whole dress, it helped define the lines, I also used some spotted chiffon ribbon as a belt and knotted it through a pearl buckle/slider
How cute is this - it is perfect for my DD2's birthday next month - she is my 'girly girl' and saw it on my desk this morning and cried out with delight 'Awww Mum - this is adorable!!' She is my greatest encouragement, God bless her!! I will be back tomorrow with another one to show you, it is very vintage - I am having fun with these!! LOL!
I am linking this to:
Totally Gorjuss - Ribbon
and will be back tomorrow to link it to more - it is after midnight here....ZZZzzzz! LOL!
Thank you for coming by and for all the lovely comments you leave me - I am a 'comment junky' and they make my day! I hope your day is one of your GREAT ones! God bless you!!

Wow Linda, what a great creation, so pretty and feminine. I would call this a "Posh Frock" and I know that my grandaughter will be thrilled to get it. You are very clever (a chip off the old block maybe?) Love all the pretty details. Luv ya Mum/Lesley AKA SuperNan
