F is For Fashion

Hello.  Welcome.  If you are looking for the blog hop go HERE.  Still a few hours left to comment.  There be prizes.  

 The Craft Barn Alpha challenge is on F is week, and we have to include a heart.  I decided to go with fashion.  Over at Scrappelyst the challenge is triangle.  An underused shape I feel, so I decided to make my background using triangles. 



So here's my large altered playing card featuring a paper pieced Prima doll.  I gave her an patterned paper skirt and jazzed it up with some glitter glue.  

 
To make the background I covered the card with black handmade paper and then I cut white triangles from scrap card and stuck them on.  I added a couple of rhinestone hearts and the definition from the Oxford English Dictionary.  

 Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

    I'm finding fashion pretty fun in this f word challenge. Your modern background is great for your modern fashion gal. Perfect placement with the heart.

    Striking, Gail! Love the simple colors and then that "POW" of color in the skirt! Well done!

    Great idea for the background and a real contrast to the bright colours of the dress x

    I'm REALLY late and know it, but I simply had to visit, even though the next CB challenge has already been posted. This is gorgeous, and I love what you did with her skirt. The black and white background made her really POP, too.

    The zig zag background is very dramatic behind your Prima doll. Good choice of word too (same as mine!).
