Well if you've decided to humor me and stay through this post......then let me give you the deets on this card. I used Crafty Secret's Sew Special set. I colored the image twice with Copics, and placed pop dots between the layers for some dimension. I was given some old patterns for sewing and decided to incorporate that into my background.
The tissue paper is fairly thin so I glued the edges to a piece of card stock and then sewed that to the black card stock. I added some black tulle to her skirt along with a ribbon and rhinestone. To create the skirt, I cut a piece of rectangular tulle, folded it over and did a loose straight stitch. When you get to the end, you pull the thread until it is gathered to the waist size you need. I wanted to add a sentiment but didn't want to cover up the background so I opted for a simple tag "grounded" on a red piece of ribbon.
Now for the blog candy winner............

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Best of all . . . I already have the stamps! Thanks for the inspiration!
This is one of the most creative cards I have ever seen! I love the idea of using old patterns for your background paper, and the tulle is fabulous too!
That's an excellent use of different textures and techniques on a single card. You really did a fabulous job!
