Putting on the bling

If you know me at all, you know that I am NOT a bling-y person.  Don't wear much jewelry - ever, not even my wedding ring.  So when the challenge was issued over on the EWV Yahoo group to use some bling, I went out of my way, it seems, to use it where possible on this piece.  You be the judge...is it bling-y enough?

My 3-D wardrobe screen comes complete with rhinestone-studded gold gloves, diamond-encrusted tiara, gold-tipped ebony hanger, gold lame skirt and blouse.  Now you can't get much bling-ier than that!  lol

Studio 490:  Fashion Style and Art stamps; Dress Forms & More Art Parts

Tim Holtz: Woodgrain and  Damask embossing folders,  Mini Cabinet Card die (cut 3 but only 1 in full), hitch fastener

Sizzix:   Crescent Tag

Ranger:  Gold Acrylic Paint Dabber, Pitch Black and Snow Cap pigment inks, Tea Dye and Walnut Stain distress inks

Maya Road:  chipboard crown, hanger

Miscellaneous:  square sandwich toothpicks (legs for wardrobe screen and shelf), mini wood clothespins, jewels, foil (mirror)

If you'd care to see the inspiration piece, you can check out Wendy's second book, page 14.  It's amazing where a little bit of inspiration can take you!

  2. Very clever: I love seeing dies made in to something other than the obvious: Makes them so much more versatile.
