I am trying my darnedest to get out of this craftless fog I've been in lately.
Today I made a card and a wall hanging.
First the wall hanging...
I'd been wanting to play with a dress form for a while now so today I finally did.
I used lace & sequins from Creating is Fun and a piece of ribbon I had laying around.
Dressing it was not the easiest thing I've ever done but it was fun!
I added a few drops of buttercup liquid pearls to the top but didn't like the look so I smeared it and since I liked that I added more to the bottom and side.
The flower is one I made a while ago with patterned paper and Cameo diecuts.
A close up of the dress...
The images are from Magic Moonlight Studio Free Images.
Blanca always has such beautiful vintage photo's to work with.
I used vintage photo distress embossing powder on the grunge board key hole.
I love the look!

The card...
The piece of paper that I used for the tag background is paper I made myself in Gimp.
The rose image is from Gecko Galz.
The lace is, again, from Creating is Fun.
And I used another Magic Moonlight Studio image.
The pearl piece is also from Pro 31 (direct route).
They are a cream/ivory color but I hit them with watermelon and terra cotta Alcohol inks.
Not liking how sticky they were when I was done I took a baby wipe and wiped them off leaving them a perfect color without the stickiness.
I'm thinking "lucky me"!
I used another piece of my paper to stamp the inside sentiment on.
