DREAM

We have a simple challenge this week from Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, ANYTHING GOES!

I was inspired by my fellow team member Andrea to use the Prima Flowers Lorrena stamp.

I often begin my projects by simply laying out my pieces onto the canvas whilst I am working out ideas.

I stamped the Prima Doll onto a piece of Calico fabric using Black Archival Ink and then cut out.

I clothed the doll with Tim Holtz Fabric which I cut into strips and then fixed into place with a glue stick and then machined stitched the pieces together.

I added a black bodice using black card and then coated with Mutli Medium Matt to protect the card. I also added a tiny clock part from Prima to her neckline.

I added a touch of stencilling using the Prima Flowers Lace Trim Stencil and White Embossing Paste.

I added a Tim Holtz Ornate Plate, Prima Flowers Bottle Cap, Prima Flowers Flower Shapes, Prima Flowers Jeans Buttons, a Zip Pull, Martha Stewart Medallion, Hanger Clip and Locket Key. I coated all the embellishments with a coat of Gesso and once dry I painted with Weathered Wood Distress Paint.

I added further embellishments to the bottom of her dress which I painted with Distress Paints and highlighted the detail with Treasure Silver Wax. I also kept all the threads in place from the machine stitching to add extra texture and interest. I added DREAM to a Memo Pin stamped onto white card using the Simple Sayings Stamp Set and coloured with Weathered Wood Distress Ink.

I dry brushed the canvas with Walnut Stain Distress Paint to coordinate with the browns in the fabric used on the skirt. I added a piece of Ball Chain to her waistline.

Touches of Black Soot Distress Paint have also been added as a contrast.

For more great ideas please pop over to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog and take a look at my fellow team members artwork, they have created some inspirational projects. Remember there is also the chance to win a $50 prize from Simon Says Stamp.  I always look forward to seeing your creations each week.

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment, much appreciated. Tracy x x
