Come Join us in our t-party this tuesday. We are tickling each other.
It is all about what costume we would dress up as. Many times I would kind of dream of being like a princess, like Cinderella and get swept off feet or like snow white and be around all the precious animals as well as a prince. then one would dress up like in a ball ( and must say part of that dream is being a real princess size too...why not it IS a dream...lol..)
So I designed a princess dress using die-cuts. The blue ruffles are scalloped ovals, cut to size and the bottom white part is a oval cut in half and then I trimmed off the bottom with fancy scissors. I was trying to think of what to use for the top adn then I thought of my poinsettia die....worked perfectly, just cut 2 leaves out.
then I embossed the white part and the bg paper which I happen to stumble on trying to figure out how to present this pretty dress has the same shading like the ruffles..ombre? then of course a princess needs sparkles and pearls.
This should be a great party and now I have a pretty dress to wear...as well as whom ever receives it. Its size is very adjustable...;0).
thanks for the great ideas and for the visit, cant wait to see what everyone is dressing up like.

Punch art fascinates me, and this one is very creative. Of course we all want a princess dress. (I'm pretty sure I always went out for Halloween as some variation of a princess when I was little).
