I used a DL, or a tall slimline, to make my card. I stamped the dress using the Sparkles dress from Daisy B crafts. With the use of my craft knife I added Washi Tape to create the dress. The swags I coloured with several Pink Promarkers, the added detail and decoupaged shoulder roses were created using Gold Gilding flakes. The shoe by Daisy B, I  stamped off the page, coloured with the same  Pink Promarkers and added dots with a gold pen. I drew a gold border to define the fashion items, added pink glitter gems and a sentiment from my stash. I hope you have fun creating your Vogue item, as I did. I enjoyed playing.
