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.
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

This is FAB-U-LOUS Minxy! I love how the white contrasts so beautifully against the other two colours and that dress form is a brilliant idea. Love the gorgeous flowers with the fab Crealies leaves. In fact, I love every single millimetre of this and ............ if you're ever looking for a good home for it ........... I promise I'd cherish it forever, lol!

Nicky..I love your piece! What a wonderful thing that you screwed up a canvas so that it could turn into this gorgeous piece! haha I love your frame, covered in the gesso and tissue paper. Your Tim Holtz dress form is amazing. I really love the white Nestabilities flowers. The are gorgeous against the tissue patterened frame. The die cut behind the dress form is brilliant!
