What a beautiful day it is here in southwest lower Michigan!
All sunny and pretty and "at this moment" a perfect temp!
I had a bit of fun with a sweet chipboard dress from
Crafty Secrets!
It is called Little Girls Outfit Chipboard,
and guess what?
It is on clearance for only $1.50!!
I printed two different papers from the Crafty Secrets
"Birds and Blooms" digital papers collection.
Traced around the dress, cut them out
and adhered with modge podge.
I love, love this paper, and I used it for my last 4 projects
for Crafty Secrets...gorgeous I tell you, gorgeous!!
While the dress was drying, my husband and I went to a pool party!
Some friends and co-worker of ours just put in a new
and gorgeous pool...gee, I want one...lol!
We didn't stay real long, but long enough for
my modge podge to dry by the time we got home..LOL!
Once the dress was dry,
I sanded and inked all the edges
I added a bit of crochet trim from RRR around
the neckline, pocket and sleeves.
I fussy cut a little birdie on a branch
from Digital Birds & Blossoms 4 page download,
then "perched" him on the pocket.
A bit of diamond Stickles was added to the blooms.
I added a tiny bow and an "awkward" gem.
I was drinking my morning coffee and dropped
a splash of it right where you see the gem...go figure!
I kept it rather simple as I did not want to cover up the beautiful scripture at the bottom of the dress
which says "Nature is the Art of God".
Check out the Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage blog,
there is always, always great inspiration there.
