Today, the sun is shining, and it’s gorgeous outside. I don’t want to jinx it, but I think spring has come to Minnesota.
I’ve seen doily dress cards on Pinterest, that I think are really beautiful, so I decided to make my version of it. I was going to make a white doily dress, with a ribbon around the ‘waist,’ but I wandered off from that theme. I always get a kick out of how my cards don’t turn out like I first envisioned them. They just kind of evolve.
I used the tutorial (below) by LeeAnn Greff, from Flowerbug’s Inkspot, as a guide when I made the dress. (Random thought: I just realized that she’s from around my neck in the woods-Minot, ND.)
