This week, we're getting out the old lady daubers and slappin' some inky dots on a bingo board. Take your pick of a line, any line. Horizontal, diagonal, sideways, upside down? We don't care!
I bet you can't guess which line I grabbed up faster than Jackie Chan's ninja chops. If you guessed lace, flowers, and vintage - congratulations! Give yourself a pat on the back and lick your elbows. (Ok, that last part was just for my amusement. It can't be done, my friends.)
Anywho, I was given this awesome image from Beccy's Place called Dress Form (how apropos). It's really pretty and right in my wheelhouse of vintagey goodness. I guess I never really liked digi stamps, because I thought they were all cutesy wootsey but it turns out there are so many sketchy or vintage digis too!
I colored the digi in soft, muted tones with my Spectrum Noir Markers and paired it with some Graphic 45 paper that I have been hoarding like a madwoman. I added some burlap lace and a paper flower and...
Ta Daaaaa!
It's
one part vintage and one part art deco and all parts just plain cool.
Of course, I had to give it a purpose, so I stamped the inside with a
fitting sentiment
(yes that was a dress form pun. You're welcome.)
