Checks

Those of you who read my blog regularly will know that it pleases me to use items I've had for a while. Well in this case, I was experimenting with Posh Impression inks and made this check pattern among others, which I put away somewhere...about 7 years ago!

Now found, and used for the DCM theme of checks. Another piece was unusable as was, so I sponged over it using the same inks (also not used since - I'm surprised they didn't dry up!).

Clever use of the dress maker's mannequin. As you know, I (particularly) enjoy your work that mixes people images with text and textures and this kind of fits even though a mannequin is inanimate...except in Dr Who...

This looks great - well done on the rediscovery and one finding ways to make it look totally fab on a card! Colour combo looks lovely and has just the right balance between vintage and contemporary, IYSWIM!
