Fashionable birthday

 

It's the final of the Great British Sewing Bee tonight, one of my favourite programmes. When I was paper piecing this stamp I had the judges voice in my head, when they say how well someone has done their pattern placement! Hopefully they would approve of this one as I stamped the whole dress in one go, carefully placing the flowers where I wanted them. 

I then cut out and mounted onto a piece of white card, at which point I decided it was too much white space for me. So I stencilled over using two stencils, one dotty and one roses in kitsch flamingo pink. So I am entering into the Stencil Fun challenge for Birthdays.

I then added a sentiment and some tiny stamped butterflies. I mounted onto a piece of the same paper I had used for paper piecing. This is an old Rare Earth stamp and the paper was sent to me by a lovely blogging buddy for this image.
