On Form Again!

Dress form that is.. 

Yep i finally got some direction for this project that had been sat on my desk since wednesday.

Hels over @ Sunday Stamper picked 'Brown' as the theme for this week so i set to work adding lots more brown elements. 

I had already cut the denim form and added a brown birdcage skirt.

I had also covered a shadowbox with old dress pattern papers that became browner with the more layers that i added.
So next i set to work stamping some elements for the inside.
I used Tim's new haberdashery stamps, and coloured with distress inks and copic markers.

I made a makeshift cotton reel, and stuck a couple of fancy maya road pins in for a nice extra effect.

I also diecut some tattered florals in denim and lace and attached them together with a buttons and thread.
The lace was pink but i grunged it up with some brown ink.
{What a muppet i am, I've only just realized I totally forgot but the initial idea and theme for this piece was actually prompted by challenge 21 'Denim & Lace' over @ Let's get Shabby, but it's ok, I remembered just in time as there cut off date is the 20th phewww!}
And there you have it... So does anyone else have this die and love it as much as i do...
How are you using yours???
..............
I'll be back in the week with my Alter It Monthly challenge piece,
 I have my pro op assessment for my knee tomorrow.. Will finally find out when i get the dreaded but also hopefully helpful operation!!! Can't quite believe i've been off work over 6 months, and even more so that i've been stuck indoors for the best part of that time.
 so wish me luck!
Until then Stay Inky
