This week's challenge was to make a shape card. That's right! No squares. No rectangles. At first all I could think of was die cutting a circle. But, then I started to think a little more out of the box (as I always tell my students) I finally came up with the idea of making a template for the front and back of this card, and the template was a little dress!! Perfect for any occassion!! When I showed my dh, he gasped with adoration which made me feel ohh so good. Sigh. I will miss running downstairs to show him my latest creation. At least I can Skype the card to him.
I hand-drew a dress form for a template, then it out and stitched the front and back together.
