Dressform Birthday Card

Hello!  I have been making a lot of cards this weekend and having a lot of fun! :)  Wanted to share a card I have made for a friend.  I've actually made different variations of this before but I really love the vintage look of it so the layout is one I'll probably use over and over again!  The background paper is from Recollections "Union Square" collection.  I absolutely love this paper and used a few different pieces!  I love the background paper where the bird is at the window.  It makes the card look like the inside of a cool room! :)  I took a chipboard of a dressform and painted it with red acrylic paint.  I also stamped right over it with a postage stamp.  I then added a piece of random Recollections bling. The cute brown lace trim around the dress form is from SA Crafters on Etsy.  The leaves are sprayed with TA "Olive Vine" and the  cute cherry blossoms are I Am Roses sprayed with TA "Iridescent Gold".  I added a small spool and tied twine around it so that it looked like a spool of thread.  I thought this added a cute touch! :)  Anyways, hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great week! :)
