It’s Christmas time! Let’s get dressed up and party all the way to welcome year 2010! I had fun doing this pretty little thing but still can’t decide when it should go. Either in my art journal, a tag, on a altered book, shopping bag, or even a card to be sent off… Still can’t decide now… so I decided to hang on for a while… but I am eager to show it off to all my friends first… and here you are!
What did I do?
1) I used American crafts Thicker – Use the mannequin chipboard as the base.
2) From my stash, I draw out the flowers and ribbons for this pretty little thing.
3) I stamped and embossed with gold embossing powder on the red paper flower.
4) Then fold the flowers and start to layer them to form the dress.
5) For the body, I used ribbons to wrap a few rounds and knot to end.
6) I distressed with brown ink, add glitter to the center of the flowers.
7) Add little string of beads to form the necklace.
8) Finally, you are done with it!
It’s so fun and pretty! Try it…
so much of a sentimental statement… it’s now to let you know how I did these pages. I found a patterned paper on lighthouse and I glued it down onto my journal before everything. Next, I used finger to apply modelling paste around the journal and stamped image while it’s still wet. Let it dry and then apply distressed ink to highlight the stamped impression. I embellished the pages with corrugated board (from carton), telephone book papers, stamped the bird nest on the storybook paper, cut out images of bird, wings, stamped clock, stamped heart, paper doily, elastic lace ribbon, little text and rub-on stitches. I glimmer mist the background with stencils and smudged the ink. And there you go! Done!
