LOC Dressing Up

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!!

    I'm not a girly girl, but I sure would love to look good in this. Probably everybody would look good in this 'cause it sooo beautiful! Those flowers all over the skirt is perfect, and the beltbuckle just tops it all!

    Have a nice day!

    Hugs

    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
