This is my entry for Gingersnap Creations challenge to use packaging materials. I started with a piece of Prima packaging and added black corrugated cardboard on top. The main piece is brown cardboard inked with Colorbox chalk- lime pastel. The lace (Art Impressions) and dress form (Tim Holtz) were embossed with clear ep and swirls (Stampin Up) stamped over with black archival ink. I then ironed off the ep and stamped the dress form slightly off the original. I stamped a TH swirl stamp on the bodice. I cut the buttons from a velvet box liner using a Sizzix die. The bella label came off a package. The flower petals were cut with Sizzix Die-Daisy's #2 from painted deli paper and corrugated cardboard. The centre button was inked with versamark and then partially inked with archival black. I really like how this turned out. I am also going to join in on the Just for Fun Challenge- Anything Goes.
Thank you for looking. For those of you following the hummingbird tale I posted another baby picture. It is two posts down. They are growing fast.
