This is the first time I have participated in the Get Your Diva On Challenge by Verve Stamps. You had to take a store gift card and be inspired by that to make your card. Well lets just say this was EXTREMELY hard for me, to take something flat and put dimension to it, and not to have a plain card, and not know if a sketch would look right, I had this vision of using the dress form as the guy, so I started there (would soooo much rather follow sketches) LOL - but hey it's how I will learn right!
So anyway, I only had a DSW gift card in my wallet and it was super boring, so I googled some of my fave stores, and ones I have had in the past and this is what caught my eye....
And this is what I came up with....
I started with stamping the Tim Holtz dressform, then used a stencil on the side, Then used a mask and sponged over it, then added the purple strip and sewed, then stamped the No. 5 then had a heck of the time figuring out how to attach the key, I didn't have any black twine, so I found this wire and just scrunched it and threw it in there... Overall I think it works... what do you think????
Enjoy!

This turned out beautifully!! LOVE the purples and your fabulous dress form and button with the charm!! So glad you stepped out of your box, cause it was definitely worth it!!
How adorably artsy - love it! You've got a great eye for building backgrounds - keep it up! SO .... Donna Downey's classes were fab.u.lous! If you EVER have an opportunity, go for it. Definitely worth the time, money, and fun! I haven't got pics up yet, but it's on my to-do list. Enjoy your weekend!
