My dressed-up gal is ready for the runway. The poster for the fashion Show is behind her. It is a piece of DP that I had the had this ad for a Fashion Academy on it. It also had a bunch of other stuff. So I ink blended over the other printing. It lets some of the print show through. I also gave it a little more interest by dabbing my damp stamp cleaner chamois on the ink a bit. Cut a frame for the poster and stood my girl in front. I also added the heart border and one heart above her hand so I could sent this card to Patti.

Yes, I think we - or more likely, our gals - can sashay down the catwalk together. What a great die. I love her dress and hat. Fab background, love the sponging you did to leave just the ad highlighted.

Awesome card Pat. I was searching my stash for a vintage ad to go with my fashion model. Yours is perfect. I love your lady die. She looks so elegant. TFS. Happy day

The only reality show I ever really enjoyed watching was Project Runway. The creativity would always impress me. I can barely sew on a button. Lovely creation.

Awesome card. Love your ink blending for the bg and how it showcases the add--perfection! That die fabulously fashionable and I love the dress you created for her. The single heart jumped out immediately but then I noticed the heart border -- well done. Tres' chic!

Pat, this is quite lovely. I love her dress! And I love the way you worked in a little heart from that border! It is great when you give details, as I am always learning that you inked up the background dp. I am sure Patti will love this.
