Fabulous Fifties

You may recognise the layout of this card, I made a very similar one using Oyster Blush papers not very long ago, it's amazing how different it looks in a different colour palette.
 The glorious, fifties inspired papers are Papermania, Happy Days, I have the beautiful, big 12x12 double sided pack, a stack so gorgeous it's hard to cut them up, and it's a big stack with lots of sheets that I've had for ages, but still I struggle to cut into it!  I've added some kraft for the dress form and some red mirri for the accessories.
I cut the fancy oval with a Spellbinders die, all the other dies used are Xcut, from the Dressing Room set, which I borrowed from my Mum, but which I must buy at some point, it's brilliant, and there are so many dies in the set for £20.
To finish, I added some mint green grosgrain ribbon with a bow and a stamped sentiment.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Daring Cardmakers - Use Xcut Dies
Dream Valley - #78 - Mothering Sunday
Hobbycutz - #40 - Girly but no Pink
