Wear Your Best Dress!

Hello dear stampers! I made this card for Saturday's Inspiration Challenge over at Split Coast. Stephanie linked us to the Shabby Apple - a wonderful women's clothing shop.

I've been wanting to try making pleated ribbon on a card so I chose this pretty Ming Dress to inspire my card.

To pleat my ribbon I laid a strip of Scor Tape along the bottom of my panel. Then I laid the silk ribbon along it folding it as I went. I sewed along the top to flatten it down and hold the pleats and attached my patterned paper over the stitching. How do you pleat your ribbon on a card??

I used PTI dies for my felt flower and cut the sentiment with a square Nestability. I sponged them both with Antique Linen ink.

The fun teaparty stamp is from Afternoon Tea Sentiments by Waltzingmouse Stamps

Today is Day 10 of Waltzingmouse Christmas and Laurie has something to inspire us - Thursday you'll want to check out what Mona will be posting for Day 11 and Friday Joan will wrap it up on day 12!
