It's fashion week...

..over on the Daring Cardmakers blog this week!

Leo has challenged us all to be inspired by Fashion Week and to create an outfit to feature on our cards.

Well, I had a sheet of very nice paper in mind for my outfit!

The Fancy Free paper from the new Dear Lizzy Documentary line has a lovely floral print to it and the colours are lush too.

If only you could get it as a fabric in real life. ;)

I wanted to create a paper dress to go on a mannequin die and stamp set I have that is much underused but handy for challenges like this!:

Paper: Dear Lizzy, Crate Paper
Dies: MFT, Lawn Fawn
Stamps: MFT, WPlus9
Other: seam binding, pearl

I used this template as a rough guide for my dress and cut the skirt bit down a bit - attached the pieces to the mannequin and used seam binding for a sash and to line the skirt. Necessity is the mother of invention and a handy pearl covers up where the edge of the fold started peeking out from under the seam binding. :)

I am happy to have found this gold foil paper from Maggie Holmes' Confetti line in my stash as it was a nice subtle background against the busy colours of the dress, plus it meant I could add little folded hearts cut from the paper to some of the gold dots.

Don't forget to head on over to the Daring Cardmakers blog to see the rest of our haute couture creations!

Here's the stash I used:

Crate Paper - Maggie Holmes Confetti - Ceremony Gold Foil Accent Paper	Dear Lizzy - Documentary - Fancy Free	MFT - Sew Nifty stamp and die set	WPlus9 - Strictly Sentiments 5 stamps
Lawn Fawn - Hearts dies	Lawn Fawn - Large stitched journaling card
