Cat Walk.

A family member has just had her 70th Birthday but she still does modelling for a local boutique that puts on shows regularly throughout the yr.  Also likes my fancy card shapes so decided to make her a Never Ending Card to see if she could fathom out  how it works !

The papers are all from the works. All the sentiments I have created and printed out in word.
The digi image of the dress on a hanger is by  Dig Stamps for Joy which I resized before printing out.
 Card opens to show this arrangement I have coloured the dresses with my Graph'it markers and then painted with either silver or gold glitter glue to make them really sparkle like evening gowns from the Fred Astaire Era of films. I loved watching all those dance movies he did with Ginger Rogers.
 Card then opens to the next selection.
 Last selection which when opened up takes you back to the beginning of the card.
Had a text to say that she loved her card.

This is unique and very intricate. I love that "Back to the Beginning" part! So cute and she is going to love this and that you made it especially for her and her modeling. Good for her to still be doing that and you for thinking of her. Maybe she will sing and dance! Love you.
