Today is the National Bow Tie Day, and for today's CAS Challenge, Kathy (Kathleen Curry) asked to see bows on our projects.
Because it is "Bow Tie Day", I decided to create a bow tie for Kathy's challenge. The card is quite simple to make. I simply used a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of white card stock, measured and marked at the 1" mark down from the top of the paper, and cut toward the center on both ends, leaving about an inch uncut.
I folded the cut portions to form a collar for the shirt. I added the bow tie, buttons, and suspenders (i.e., ribbon) down both sides. I attached this to a houndstooth embossed card base. How simple!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving comments! I greatly appreciate them!!!

Oh I love this!!! It reminds me of an outfit they wore for an Ice Cream Parlor when I was growing up. I don't think it is even in business anymore - but they had the best ice cream and parlor!!! One of those pianos that played by themselves, and a person who beat the big drum that you beat on its side when someone birthday came up. It was a really cool place!!

OMG, I've seen these shirt cards before, but never with a perfect set of suspenders. Those and the buttons you chose really take this card up several notches. Awesome!
