This is what I've been working on. I took a wood plaque that I bought on clearance at Hobby Lobby for $2. and painted it brown. The large dress form on the right is My Minds Eye paper (lost and found) Along the bottom I used a Tim Holtz measuring tape. The iron fence is a Halloween Martha Stewart punch I cut the little bats off of.
The other dress form is a stamp from Oxford Impressions (the dressmaker) I stamped it on canvas and frayed the edges and inked them to age it a little. I put lace along the top edge.
I cut the flowers from Tim Holtz tattered floral die and the leaves from his tattered leaves die. I cut them out of grunge paper. On one of them I stamped the text first then used Tim Holtz distress inks and colored them. I added old buttons in the center and a few feathers to top them off. I used Tim Holtz swivel clasps to hold some charms I made out of his fragments. The paper behind them are also Tim Holtz.
I've never entered any challenges before but I really like the way this turned out, I think I will enter it in a couple of challenges. I think it will qualify for the Practical Scrappers challenge. Distressing.

If you know of any other challenges I can enter into, I'd appreciate you letting me know.

ReplyDeleteI am a newbie to everything. I just recieved a cricut for my birthday. I have never scrapbooked or stamped or anything. Hubby was told by someone in his office that I needed one and my obsession is beginning. I LOVE your plauqe. It would be a perfect gift for my niece. But I think for this year I will stick to the gift card. I may have to give up my weekly coffee to fund paper alone.
ReplyDeleteShari, this is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! Love it, love all your elements and colors, very, very pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow, Shari, I LOVE this plague!!! And what a great idea you had in removing the bats on the fence to fit it!!! I'd say it's a "favorite" thing!!!
