Splitcoaststampers and Vintage Vogue

It's been quite a long while since I've participated in one of Splitcoaststampers challenges, and I want to get back into the action. If you are not familiar with splitcoaststampers.com, you should be...it is one of the very top spots for fantastic inspiration, fun times, and it's FREE! 

I've made up a card for today's Friday challenge: Free for All (F4A97 challenge and gallery).

Today's challenge is: "Break Out the Party Dress!" to use a dress in your design...Although I am not dressing up during the holidays, I did have occasion to do so this past November for the Marine's Ball here in Dushanbe. My dress had a similar shape, but was lacking the volume in the skirt area, due to my lack of fluffy petticoat to wear beneath. This gal has the perfect fluff factor and shape!

Love this 6 X 6" paper pad and Chipboard Pops pack by Pink Paislee, "Vintage Vogue." The prints in the dp pad bring me back to days past (this print is very similar to one that I had a one piece shorts jumpsuit in) and the chipboard pack is filled with fun pieces.

Here's a closeup of the dressed up vintage gal, along with a floral swag of chipboard pieced over the skirt. I've added a couple of Kaisercraft Rhinestones, a paper pleated border (made with a Score It All Board), and tiny May Art's Silk Ribbon Bow.

All the supplies for this design are available at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. Sharon has quite a few items marked down now, please check it out!

I hope that you check out today's challenge at Splitcoast, and maybe participate yourself!
