Cardmaking: Mannequin Dress Cut with Cricut

In today's blog, we do something somewhat unusual. We use the petals, that we've cut with the Cricut, to create a skirt to put on a mannequin. This petal dress has a bodice that was also cut on the Cricut. We then use our stamps to put a couple of finishing touches on the project, but not before we have drawn the mannequin by hand.

I have a 6" x 12" cardboard paper left over from another project.

I fold this in half to serve as a 6" x 6" card.

I stick some double-sided tape to the back of a paper bodice.

Then I arrange 5 paper petals to serve as a skirt. I stick these down with double-sided tape.

I then remove the last piece of backing paper from the bodice's tape and stick it down overlapping the petals.

I use a black Posca marker to draw the mannequin.

I then get some distressing ink and a corner punch.

I stamp the four corners of my mannequin card.

In next to no time, the card is done.
