Challenge #1 - Negligee

The negligee literally means "neglected" in French!! How sad for such a pretty piece of bedtime clothing!!
A negligee is a form of women's clothing consisting of a sheer usually long dressing gown. It is a form of nightgown intended for wear at night and in the bedroom. It was first introduced in France in the 18th-century, where it mimicked the heavy head-to-toe style of women's day dresses of the time.

By the 1920s it began to mimic women's satin single-layer evening dresses of the period.
Modern negligees are often much looser and made of sheer and semi-translucent fabrics and trimmed with lace or other fine material, and bows. Multiple layers of fabric are often used.



For this challenge I want you to use the following on a layout....

1. Neglected paper - paper you have had for forever and have never used.. yet!

2. Layers... I want to see layers of some sort on your project.

3. You MUST use lace of some kind (even a lace stamp would work!).

4. And a bow!!

Here is my example of this challenge...

layers... all three clusters are fussy cut and layered
lace - brown lace in clusters
bow - around the letter "R"

Here is mine ladies:



old paper (the girls on it)
lots of layers
off white cotton lace trim
green ribbon bow

oh that is nice Lisa! I used some of the Graphic 45 Baby paper I had set aside awhile ago...just couldn't get into the baby book I am supposed to have done for June! So here is mine - rotten lighting included!!



I used die cuts for lace as well as a teeny bit of gathered lace tucked under the bow.... and layers.

Lisa I like that paper, and the way you used it, great layout.

Lois, very sweet layout! Love the title!

Well done ladies! Lois, I may use that too. I have some left although I did do a baby book with it!

Lisa, is that you and your mom?
