a krafty play...

well here i am with a quick tag
and a few of my favourite things..
.some kraft, some wire, a heart and my dressform..
So here she is :
 
 
 i just wanted to play..
and here is the result...I cut the dressform from kraft resist..
and over stamped with some Tim snowflakes using
picket fence distress stain..another favourite..
 
 
 
the background of the tag was covered in corrugated card and then inked
 with vintage photo distress ink and picket fence distress stain..
adding lots of brown around the edges
 
The snowflakes were die cuts (Tim ones)
i added some mica flakes in tiny patches..not sure if this shows
then inked with old paper
and rock candy distress loose glitter
 
 
 
the wire was added to the background and stapled
using my mini attacher..
another favourite!!
 
and finally a little wooden heart,
inked and covered in glitter..

  7. Lovely tag Trace, the corrugated card adds wonderful texture and is a favourite of mine too as are hearts so I love the little added dimensional heart to your dress form. Love the added snowflakes and I always love to see metal mesh added to creative pieces. Thanks so much for joining in the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. Tracy x
