Dress Up Birthday!

 Hello all!  Happy President's Day!  I've got a fun card share today using the Dress Up framelit dies.  It's probably my current favorite die right now.  So much fun to play with and design some fun outfits!  For this particular card, I also used the lace from the Artisan Embellishments Kit.  I was inspired by dresses that I've been seeing in the fashion mags where lace is all the rage!  So, I thought I'd design my own. The ribbon belt is the seam binding ribbon in Rose Red.  It's such a great light texture and has that soft cascading look I was trying to go for.  Here's another view of the card.
To add some interest on my card border, I used the Needlepoint Border embossing folders.  The trick to do both sides of my card is that I actually started with a gray card front sized at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2."  After embossing the edges, I used the corner rounder punch on the bottom and then glued the front of the card to a Whisper White card base.  Viola!  I then layered the rest of the card with the Yellow Chevron print from the Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP, then added my dress onto the dress form, and popped it up on the card front using dimensionals.  What do you think?  Hope you like it!
