I’m sure I am not the only stamper who has quite a
collection of mannequins/dressforms! Mannequin Café No. 1 from Character Constructions
is the latest addition. The stamps are most commonly used for paperdoll art but
here I simply inked it up to form the focal for a doorhanger. Maybe a gift idea
for someone with a sewing room.
Supplies
Staz-on Timber Brown
Idea-ology Ruler Ribbon
Baby Wipe
Extras:- Walnut Ink Crystals (substitute with Distress Stain Walnut Stain), vintage buttons (substitute with Idea-ology), lace and
fabric scraps
Instructions
Apply dissolved Walnut Ink Crystals (or substitute) to
doorhanger. Mist with Ground Espresso, dab with baby wipe to remove
excess. Heat set before stamping text in
a random fashion. Stamp dressform and create a stamped border of dressmaking
pins (Mannequin Café). Embellish mannequin with lace and vintage buttons.
Stain scrap of cardstock, fabrics and Ruler Ribbon
with dissolved Walnut Ink Crystals. Stamp ruler onto the prepared cardstock,
distressing and inking edges before layering with torn ticking to top edge of hanger.
Layer Ruler Ribbon with more of the ticking to lower edge.
Finally, embellish hanger with vintage button and
distressed fabric strips.
Until next time,
Lynne
