Vintage or Shabby

Good Evening Bloggers

I am here with my project to remind you all about the 


and the theme this month is 



I used the aptly named 'Looking Gorgeous' digi stamp and coloured her with Pro Markers, using a white gel pen on her hair and glossy accents on some of the beads. The papers are from my stash and I distressed them all using a Pumice Stone Distress Ink Pad, tearing some of the edges. I made the flower & leaves myself using some organza ribbon & fine netting
They are quite easy to make, for the flower you just cut some rough circles in various circles and hold the edges over a tea light candle (not close else the material/ribbon burns) until it starts to crinkle, turning every now and again until all the edges are crinkled. Repeat for all your circles, you can have as many or few as you like, and stack on top of each other. You can use a pretty brad to secure them all together, or sew/glue them together in the centre and add a button or gem/pearl. For the leaves cut as many lengths as leaves you want and hold one end over the candle to singe it slightly. decide how you want them positioned behind the flower and stick with either wet glue or red dst
The sentiment is from a stamp set I have and I added 3 small flat backed pearls in coordinating colours

Don't forget to join the All Dressed Up Facebook Group and check out my fellow DT members makes for this fabulous challenge
