CHIC BOUTIQUE

I am still loving this stamp set (CHIC BOUTIQUE)! The black and yellow color combo came from my daughters teen magazine, it had a picture of Paris Hilton wearing a black and yellow dress. This hit me that I had to create the dress forms using these colors. The orange was just an added bonus. The look that I was going for was a Boutique window! Hopefully you enjoy.
