Yes, this is one more card that was inspired by one of our FS, Jennifer's (Jingle) cards! I am weeks behind on making the challenge cards. As I browsed Jennifer's gallery, I found inspiration for some of them. Thank you ... again ... Jennifer!
Here is the card that inspired mine. Instead of chevrons, I free-handed my favorite Tim Holtz stitch lines stamp as a bkgrd, adding in SU going gray, a portion of my MFT grid stencil. I cut SU dp with my MFT paper banner die, to use in place of the washi tape. My card is also for a Teapotter Tickle challenge from two wks ago. In keeping with the theme, I added I added some sewing notion die cuts, buttons and lace, as well as, stamped the dress form. Hopefully Daisy-Mae and Dixie will find some use for them on a "future" dress. I finished it off with a Jillibean sentiment instead of a die-cut word. I used my MFT licorice pad, direct to the edges of the panel to distress them. I applied the panel to a SU primrose mat, then to a black card base. I enjoyed creating this card!
I missed the "official" Teapotter Tickle card exchange but Sabrina came up with a Teapotter sistah for me to send my card to. I have gotten to know her a bit and she is sweet, kind and has a big heart. It is my pleasure to "surprise" her with my card!
THANKS for looking!

A lovely card! I still have one from you with that dress-form and the stitches sitting on the piano. The stitches make a fabulous background, and I love the colour you've added with the little banners. Plus the polka-dot on the reel of thread, that made me smile. The ideas that you had brewing in the back of your mind came together beautifully on this.

Gabby this is fantastic! I love all the stitching with the theme of this card! That scrap of lace, scissors and buttons are the perfect embellishment. What an awesome design!

Gabby, what a delight to be TOTALLY SURPRISED like this!! To have your card in my hands and see it IRL was the biggest treat!! Even though I had to post that I would have to bow out of this tickle due to a family situation, I got such a super treat when your card arrived yesterday. Thanks for being so sweet and sending me such a great bunch of die cut surprises - gosh, what an awesome teapotter you are!!
