I am so happy that you didn't just ditch the card when the black stamping kind of ran. It really created a great shadow effect when you covered it with the die cut dress form and doily.

Beautiful colors, gorgeous design and what a detail packed card for the lucky recipient! I have to say, you made the most tremendous rescue on this canvas piece, and adding the doily is nothing short of genius! So many details I could continue to gush over, but that's all I have time for now. Rest assured I will be coming back to look at this time and again! <br /><br /> As an interesting side note, I almost fainted when I opened your post this morning! Talk about 2 minds on the same track! Have a look at the second entry to AVJ challenge this month! I almost added the bobbins and scissors, but just couldn't make it work, and opted for a much simpler project than I've done recently! Ok, enough gabbing!
