Sewing Shadow Box

Morning and I have two DT posts today-the second one is for the ATG/Use Washi Tape challenge at

613 Avenue Create.This time around I went ATG as I don't have any washi tape.

Whilst searchingthrough my box for a card blank I found a couple of shadow box flat blanks bought from a craft show years ago after seeing the brilliant samples but got put away and forgotten about as couldn't figure out how to use them at the time.

So thought right time to figure out and went together pretty easily lol,the B.paper,sentiment label and dress forms were from Craftwork Cards a couple of years ago,there were three large dress forms so glued them all together for strength.Tape measure was cut from Graphic 45 paper,three buttons/lace and safety pins were from stash,the flower was made with a Joy die and the little metal scissors were bought from The Works about 3 years ago.Pretty pleased with the result and more neglected stash used too.
