And the Oscar goes to...

 I am  linking this to The Piece by Piece ; the challenge is to transform a dress form...And this is the gift...Now, isn't that tempting !!!













I am at heart a card maker , but I love challenging myself and strive to always be using new techniques and mediums....If I enjoy the process, then it's a successful day, regardless of the outcome...



I painted my canvas black, used some gold rub and buff on the edges and rubbed it here and there (looks a lot tamer IRL), used my beautiful new Crafty Individuals Stamp and embossed with Stampendous "Jeweled Gold"...added some lace..

I cut these flowers out of a gorgeous japanese paper....






I made the flower by twisting and gluing down fabric from a a blouse I wore at my Best Friend's first wedding (yes, she has had several LOL ...just kidding only 2)...leaving a tail....





And my favorite part, my Oscar lady !!!Painted the bodice gold ,embossed it, cut out several pieces of lace for her dress, gave her a neclklace, and wings (Maya Road Scrolls chipboard, painted black and embossed).





For the doily, I used some mica paints, Tim Holtz distress inks and some TA glimmer glaze...

Thanks for visiting....I always appreciate it so much...xoxoxo
