dress up card

hello,

i have had so much fun making this card, it really took me back to when i was a little girl and collected the comic called mandy. she was a paper doll with lots of cut out clothes. hmm i wonder if that was the start of my crafting addiction?

i've made this card using Mo's image Trudy. i printed the dress a few times on patterned paper and used a ribbon to hold the selection of dresses to the card.

the doll is removable too and the image underneath her is blank so the recipient can colour it in herself.

i wonder if her mummy will let her use the copics to colour in Trudy?

hmmm i think not!

lol

i have entered this card into the challenge at cupcake
