No Rules!

The project I'm sharing today actually started life as a DT submission piece for Creative Expressions but I changed my mind about applying so now it's my Simon Says Stamp'n'Show 'No Rules' entry instead.
And you can't say I can't coz there's no rules..... remember.

It started out as a canvas but that went horribly wrong, so I ripped off the canvas and was left with a rather nice wood frame.
Image
With a coat of gesso and some stamped dress pattern tissue paper the frame looked a million times better than the original disaster.

I was watching my friend Diane stream the other day and she had on her desk a very cool Tim Holtz dressform art piece, which prompted mine on this piece. I cut out and hand stamped about 50 of the dressform bodies from packing paper, I probably didn't need that many but I like the fullness it gave the shape.

To finish I added some of the Nestabilities flowers that I inked while they were still in the die to give the fab double colour effect, I hadn't tried inking b4 with my nesties.. mainly coz I didn't realise you could until recently.
See even someone who's been crafting as long as me, Is still learning on a daily basis!
And there you have it, Thanks for taking the time to visit me today, Have a great day x
Stay Inky

Creative Boxing!

Image
Over at Hels blog the theme for this weeks Sunday Stamper is Bits 'n' Pieces
Seeing as I never know when to stop embellishing i thought this was the perfect challenge for me.
I decided to convert an old box frame and make it into a shadow box by removing the glass and backboard and then adding a piece of mountboard to the very back of the frame.
Image
As you can see there are a fair few bits AND pieces on this one lol {click pic for a closer look}
The mini mdf lettering was painted then distressed and stuck to the base of the frame.
I actually decorated the mountboard backplate before attaching it to the frame with an assortment of goodies from TSS metal and terra to gears, metal buttons and tags.
Now all i need to do is figure if i want it freestanding as it is or wether to add some sort of hanging application so it can adorne my wall!

Whattcha Think??
