I'm here with a card to show you which fits a couple of challenges and involves some of my favourite things - fashion, the 1950s for its wonderful elegance and vintage collage but sadly no stamping (very unusual for me!!!)
The first challenge is Gingersnap Creations GC77 Chestnut Theme Challenge - Haute Couture and I shall be doing all these challenges as they all involve sewing themes, a real favourite of mine.
My creation also fits this weeks Dezinaworld Challenge which is to create something based on your favourite era.
The main image has been outlined with a Letraset Fineliner to make the edges stand out and various areas were coloured with Promarkers to give the image a bit more life.
Some text printed with a Dymo machine finish it off.
Thanks for looking.

Love the homage to your favourite era. Really beautiful. Thank you so much for visiting my Blog. I'm a bit puzzled over the Gravatar, wonder if it is Wordpress trying to be a bit different and calling it that instead of avatar? TFS. Lynne M

Fliss, you've created such a wonderful piece of 50s vintage. I remember well those dresses! Beautiful.
The fifties were so stylish, just befoire the mini-skirt.
I remember my mum looking so elegant in beautiful home-sewn designs. Thanks for reminding me so beautifully.
Have fun

Afraid I missed this yesterday Fliss. Really like your take on the era.
Hero launched some 50 style fashions images earlier this year and I did looks at them but decided they were not for me. Then I bowwored them from a fired who had rthen and I actuall enjoyed using them and some of the PD papers were ideal as the patterns was small.
