Purple Dress Card

I love the wee mannequins from Craftwork Cards, they're great for making really girly cards. For this one I made a checkered dress from one of the Doodlebug paper and then embellished it using purple gemstones in varying sizes. The background is a dress-maker themed sheet of the Papermania Bookprint paper which I crumpled up and then inked in purple to tie in with the dress. I mounted this and the message tag on purple card to add a bit more contrast. About two thirds of the way down the card I added some garden twine with purple ribbons tied into it to give a bit more of a rustic look to the card. Finally I added groups of three purple Candi to each corner to complete the card.
