My new BOW-die from Lil' Inker arrived today, and I could not resist making up a few. I just love dies that result in a dimensional item!
The perforated detail on these bows looks just like stitching, and they go together with just a few Glue-dots. You can also cut them out of felt (see Debby Hughes' example HERE), and I bet they'd work with fabric backed with iron-on stiffener.
I have already submitted one item for this week's challenge, but that bow-tie was just so appealing. I had seen a man's shirt (black-tie, another gorgeous Debby Hughes creation) done using the Bow Die and because we speak French here in Canada, this idea was born:
How perfect is that punny sentiment!?
The stamp is from a French "thank-you set" by Close to My Heart. Striped DPs are "Cherry-O," also from Close to My Heart. Some old shirt buttons and pen-stitching completed this shirt-front.
Ohhh very cute!
