Today I am sharing with you a 4x6 post card I did for a group. I had to have a dress on it and it had to be 4x6. You could put the dress on it any kind of way you wanted to and believe me I thought of at least 2 dozen ways to do so. :) I told myself to use what I had! Don't go out buying things. You have more than enough supplies to pull this off.. Now sit your behind down and figure out what method you plan to use. I thought about painting directly on the page and collaging papers; I thought about origami folks since I had just done over 80 dresses courtesy of a video I just watched by Michelle aka The Paper Addiction, but I also decided to just attach them to the backs on my postcards and envelope my cards instead sending them like postcards.
I placed it on top of a book page I gessoed with DecoArt Gesso and again using the neon paints, black stazon stamp pad, and white gel pen, in the background. I also added the black Gloss Enamel paint on the edges to loosely {frame} it where I again doodled! This was fun to work with!!
My swap partner Terri .. I didn't know much about her.. so I looked on her FB page and saw she spent a lot of time at BSU.. (colors are Blue and Orange; adhered this dress with Helmar's Craft Glue to back of the other dress) Hope she likes this.. :) Especially since I am soooo not a dress chick.. lol!
