a photo - my inspiration was the manequin so I used this digi

Seamstress Cynthia.

Here is my card............

She has been coloured with Promarkers and Sakura Stardust gel pens. I did some real sewing around teh edges using embroidery silks in pink and cream. I have distressed the edges and used Spun Sugar distress ink.

The wings are glittered and I have punched out some little butterflies from the pink DP - this is from a First Edition pad called Spring Feast. I have used the Spellbinders dies Fleur De Lis Accents for the border and Fleur De Lis Squares for the sentiment.

The flower border is from the same DP using an EK Success punch called Garden Flower Chain. I have also used American seam binding to make the ribbon flower with a pink button from my stash. The butterfly, sentiment and background punch of a manequin are from a free stamp set from one of the crafting magazines.

I have coloured the image with Promarkers, and inked around most edges with Dusty Concord distress ink. I have used the Cuttlebug folder Birds and Swirls with whitewash Cordinations card.

I have added some buttons with twine and punched butterflies - and now I have an admission!!!!! - I bought the small butterfly punch a couple of years before I started blogging and this must be the first time I have actually used it - how bad is that.
