This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge comes from the wonderful dress shop Shabby Apple. After years of not being able to find stylish dresses that covered enough skin to make you really feel comfortable (without wearing a tank top, cardigan or long slip), owners Emily and CK decided to do something about it. Shabby Apple is proud to offer you fantastic dresses that allow you to look fabulous, without having to compromise anything else.
Shabby Apple also focuses on helping women worldwide. Through their charitable work with women throughout Asia and Africa, they are able to convert dress sales into lifestyle changes for women and children.I chose this wonderful crepe de chine dress called Mandarin Plum from The Silk Road Collection … and I loved it in this gorgeous plum color.
My brother & sister-in-law found me an assortment of beautiful origami papers at a store near their home in California. I love the wonderful shimmer of the plum background paper. I stamped several images from Inkadinkado's Asian By Design set in India Ink and clear embossed.
The Tim Holtz sentiment was stamped in India Ink and clear-embossed on some handmade paper that was infused with various colors of thread, which seemed perfect for my clothing-themed inspiration piece.
I hope you find inspiration.
This is absolutely gorgeous! I love that paper and the stamps – the sentiment – everything! Thanks for sharing!
