Oriental Mannequins by Penny

Goodly morning everyone, I hope you are all well.  I'm here with my first post of the month, a card featuring the Floral Mannequins  and the Haberdashery sets of stamps, some Distress inks, clear embossing powder and gold gilding wax.  

I began by  taking a piece of white card and stamped one of the mannequins from the Haberdashery set twice and embossed them with clear powder. I masked them both then created the back ground, blending Distress Inks onto white card.  I then stamped several worker stamps randomly over the card, using the same colour inks.

 I stamped and embossed the floral mannequins then painted them with Distress Inks and cut them out.  I removed the masks from the first mannequins and attached the floral  ones over the top with 3D foam pads.  

I took some black embossed card and added gold gilding wax, then attached it to a white base card.  I attached the focal panel onto the card.  On another piece of white card I stamped and embossed one of the lace images a couple of times, cut them out, then attached them to the card. I also stamped and embossed a sentiment tag, a thimble, a pincushion, and some cotton reel images.  I then painted them, cut them out and attached them to the card, adding some ribbon to the tag.

This is a lovely project to do and you can change the colours to suit your own taste.  I think this bright and cheerful card would suit a lot of occasions too.

Thank you all for dropping in today and taking the time to read this post, I'll be back soon with another project to share with you.

Take care,
