One aspect of crafting that I love is transforming something into something else. Ink, powders and paints help to add so much dimension and character to any project. Everyone can literally start out with the same pieces but the projects all turn out different.
This is Grapevine Designs & Studio's Postcard Travel book. It has wood front and back covers and three chipboard pages. Very simple, a starting point I just adore! The wood covers were random stamped with a script stamp that I have owned for ages. Embossed with Ranger Copper embossing powders and then I added distress stains (three different colors) to create the well traveled look.
Painted the chipboard Top Dress form with acrylic silk paint and then added a few pearl bling at the waist. Layered on top of a birdcage to make the silhouette of a dress. Used the birdcage to trace the paper to glue behind the birdcage. Used my stash to add flowers, a black embossed stamped image and of course more bling.
Top Dress Form #27109 Three per package $2.50
