Dressmaking and Corsets at Fashionable Stamping

Hi everybody

I have an entry for Fasionable Stamping today, and for me it is all about corsets - those glamous decadent underpinnings - which I can only dream about.


For this card I have layered up black and red, and punched along the bottom with an eyelet lace MS edger.  The whole thing is on a pale shummery gold base.  My image is a B Line stamp which I have had for a long time.  The background is a variety of distres inks on smooth card, and faux edge sticking has been added down the side with an embossing strip.  Th swirl is also B Line.  The fromt of the coreset has been embellished with some Swaroski crystals that I had loose, and they sparkle like mad, but it does not show up here. I have also used lace on the edge, and a small silk flower.


This is the inside.  The corset actually opens up (it is a Provocraft die which has been discontinued now).  I have laced it up the front with black ribbon and put some lace edging along the bottom of the back part.

I really appreciate it that you take the time to look at my blog and leave such lovely comments. Thank you each and every one of you.

Hugs,

  4. There's something about a corset isn't there? Funny to think that most ladies wore them once! Your card is lovely Val - I like the way you've used lacy border punches in keeping with the theme. Vx
