Floral Mannequins (posted by Claire)

Good morning, I hope you're having a lovely crafty weekend. My card today features some of this months new stamps from Floral Mannequin which you can find here.


I've created a background by collage stamping the stamps from Parfum de Paris with Memento Tuxedo Black in on white card, using both first and second generation stamping. I then stamped the stand from the smaller dress form on this set. I stamped the floral mannequin and coloured with distress markers before cutting out and inking around the edges with Black soot Distress ink. I used 3d foam pads to attach the floral mannequin to give it some depth. I used a black fineliner pen to add faux stitching around the card. I popped some little pearls in the corners and added lace, ribbon and a crystal button to finish off.

Thanks for visiting today

  2. A really super combination with the black & white background providing a lovely foil for the mannequin. The lace & trimmings add a lovely haberdasher's quality to the whole design & the collage stamping using the Parfum de Paris set is a brilliant idea - so evocative of the millinery trade.

  8. This is extremely pretty and love the lace you have added. The floral mannequin works beautifully as the focal image too. The ribbon and embellishment both finish it perfectly. x
