The sentiment is cut from a DP with different sentiments, but I thought this one has something ‘womanly hero like’ about it and I also thought with today being the International Women’s day it would be suitable for this card.
The lamp post is cut with a Memory Box die and the star stencil is also from them.
Isn’t the lady’s dress amazing? It has a cut that would make me look gigantic, but I so love this feminine style from past times.
This card is for:
City Crafter Challenge - #402 Be Your Own HERO
Shopping Our Stash - #344 National Dress Day
Allsorts - #457 Ladies Only

Amazing card Pia, well done with your bit and pieces without stamps! :) This retro girl is very beautiful, as well her dress! All the details you added make the card perfectly balanced!
Happy Woman Day!
love her dress too Pia, you would need to be ultra slim to wear it though, fantastic card.
Hi Pia, This card is very appropriate for today. The sentiment is so right for International Womens Day. Aside from that I love your design
A fabulous card Pia, such a beautiful vintage lady - I love her dress but I don't think it would do much for me either!

This is gorgeous and such a wonderful take on the hero theme. I love the lamp-post and stars- actually this is a top card in my eyes. Happy International Women's Day and thanks for joining in at City Crafter.
Gorgeous card and lady cutout Pia. I do Love the sentiment..loz
Stunning card Pia, love that dress, I had one just like it in the early 60's!!! Sorry for the lack of commenting I haven't blogged for ages just been sticking to FB and Instagram. Are you on either of these?
Hi Pia! Yay, I love it when you come to Shopping Our Stash! This card is ab-fab... I love the dress. I would totally wear it! (Well, I would like to think I would "totally wear it," but I am truly a jeans-and-t-shirt kinda gal... haha), but I do love the style. Your eye for balance is eternally perfect. Good to see you. BTW, I recently saw a dress that was Queen Maud of Norway's, and I thought of you :)
I LOVE this card Pia! And it's perfect for International Women's Day! You really rocked it! Her dress wouldn't look good on me either!
