Dress To Impress

I missed last fortnight’s challenge at Dragon’s Dream Tag It On however, this time round its a different story.

Trace has set the recipe this time: A dress or dress form, an embossed impression and some bling.

I stamped the corset with embossing ink and brushed over it with chalks finishing it off with a layer of Dimensional Magic.  I made the skirt from one of those bags that fruit or onions or some such thing come in.  It was the netting that determined the colours really.

I covered the tag in printed tissue using matte medium and when it was dry I ran it through the cuttlebug.  I was a bit concerned that the impression couldn’t be seen but it popped once I added my sparkly ink sprays.

All that was needed now was the addition of some buttons, some bling and the ruler ribbon (from Typo) that I inked when I sprayed the tag.

Cheers, Esther  xoxo
