Ooh La La!.........

Here is the card that I promised you yesterday. Is it saucy do you think? Maybe not in a 'seaside postcard' kind of way, but maybe a Dita Von Tees way? I got my mitts on the Tie The Knot cart that was on special at Cutting Edge Crafts. I've had my eye on it for a while and went for it last week, and I'm glad I did because it has some beautiful images on it. I've played around a bit with this one though because it was a little 'buxom' to say the least- Nell Gwynne at worst!!! I trimmed away quite a lot of 'bustage' and I think it looks a lot better. I used some lace effect paper from the DCWV Street Lace pad and some black pearlised cardstock. I added some black pearls to the bodice and a teeny black bow to the bra section. The completed corset was adhered to a shaped panel with black gem embellishments, then adhered to the front of the card, slightly offset to the left. A grosgrain ribbon and bow, a WOC bloom, some die cut leaves and a computer generated sentiment completes the card.
Carts used:
Corset- Tie The Knot
Shaped panel- Elegant Edges
