Here's another I created with Michelle... she challenged me to created something on a wood base, which was fun!
The background was created with many layers of corrugated board, patterned papers, tissue paper, doilies and whatever other bits and pieces that were handy. This was covered with a thin layer of texture paste to help smooth all the layers. The Dusty Attic chipboard {aside from the dress forme} was added raw, along with some muslin and then sprayed with layers of smooch spritz colour sprays. Once dried it was accented with inka-gold rub, the title added and then more smooch spritz added.
The dress forme was painted white and then 'dressed' with one of my ruffles. I've created 'skirts' with the ruffles before, but got the idea to make a matching 'corset' from a lovely girl named Susan who was at Michelle's workshop... such a fabulous idea {and such a talented young lady}!
Then the fun part... adding a spray of flowers to accent the dress forme. Adding flowers is always the fun part!!
I have used mostly white flowers, withe one peach one to tie it in with the background.
The flat white petals made a beautiful backdrop for the dress form, helping it not blend in too much with the complex background. Using clusters of Primulas, Cherry Blossoms and Roses helps continue the flow, embracing the Camellia nestled among them.
The final coat of Cashmere Smooch Spritz added such a beautiful tone to the background. The chipboard was bought to life with the inks-gold rubs... they add such beautiful visual texture.
