dress to impress for dragons dream DT

Well time for us to get dreaming with the dragon again over at dragons dream TIO and today I am the lucky one to choose the recipe so hope you like it!
The challenge this time is dress to impress and the ingredients are : a dress/ dress form, embossed impressions and some bling... make sure you pop across here to see the fab DT makes..and also pop in an entry yourself..
The only other rules are make a tag and use at least one real stamp..
So here's mine:

 


I started by creating a background with evergreen bough
 and using the fab flick and spritz technique..
Then stamped my favourite Tim flourish in same
colour in corners, then dried and then stamped again
 and covered in sticky embossing powder and
 then loose rock candy distress.
I know some of you are concerned I may have run
 out still on first pot and have a spare!!



 
The dress form was embossed and then coloured using same colour distress ink! I then added a skirt , using crinoline (from funkie junkie boutique) cut into flowers using tattered floral die and layered to create a skirt effect .. I hope!


Then I added some swirls of wire..to create another texture, love the staples in contrast to the soft skirt. I have also added some dyed seam binding.
well hope you are inspired to play along with my recipe..

make sure you pop across here for more Dt inspiration

I just want to say thanks for the comments to help me put my pictures on the left/ right!not quite got it sussed but getting there!

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to stop by and also to leave a comment. I appreciate them all!

have a fun and inky day!

    Wow, wow, wow Trace, this is stunning - that skirt is amazing and I do love your now trademark twisted wire and staples - simply gorgeous. I am going to go back and read the answers to your question, as I don't know how to do it either! Hugs, Anne x

    Now I've seen what you've done with it I MUST HAVE some of that crinoline!!! Perfect use for it on this Trace (oh, and I LOVE your recipe for this challenge). And it wouldn't be the same without the wire and the glitter. Hugs, Jenny x

    Oh pretty, pretty! I just love dress forms and this version is fab. Haven't heard of crinoline before - thought that was an old fashioned frock! Will have to go and look it up.
