I adore this new set "Thinking of You" by Rupa Shevde, Gina K's new artist, especially this phone!! You won't believe how easy it was to turn it into this little dress! I thought the receiver made a great little padded hanger so all that was need here was to draw in a little hook for the handle. STamp the image on your white CS, then stamp on your DP(omitting the dial) After cutting and paper piecing the "dress" in this gingham paper(the belt and petticoat are NOT red paper, I just went over these ares of gingham with my red marker) and drew in some easy little bows for straps at the top. The little hat I cut out and popped on a dimensional. I used my Nestabilites for the focal point and scallop mat and one of Gina K's new little button brads through the hole in the real button.Wanna see the inspiration for this card? Check back to see some pics of ME at age 3 and 4 wearing clothes my mom made. (in the 70's mind you, it'll be a real blast from the past!)
And, I've got a tutorial coming up that (I hope!) is gonna ROCK your world!! can't wait, can't wait!! :)

ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet. You really blow me away with all of your talent. Thank you for sharing it with us. I love this little dress, so cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat card and lucky you to meet Tre Wilcox... I thought he was just fabulous on Top Chef!!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe that was a phone! Wow! So envious of your ability to look at a phone and say, "Nope, that's a dress on a hanger!" People like you are the reason we have cool inventions and multiple uses for the same stamp!
ReplyDeleteWhat creativity! It never would've thought to do that with the phone. It's adorable!
ReplyDeleteWOW...this is so awesome! So much creativity, and we are blessed that you share it with us!
ReplyDeleteThis is just too cute!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love everything gingham, but using the phone for a dress was so clever! ;-)
This is what makes the difference between the average stamper and the very talented one: the ability to see things in other things, see the possibilities, I guess that's what they call "thinking outside of the box"... :-) You rock!...
Aw that is the sweetest card! I love the little dress!!!!
ReplyDeleteok.........I'm blown away.....and kinda bummed....my brain just does NOT think like this!! (either that or I just ignore those voices in my head!)....love your creativity!
