A little 'Dress Up' project for Manor House Creations

Hello!!

I am super excited to announce that I am guest designing for the Australian Wholesaler MANOR HOUSE CREATIONS this month.


Manor House Creations manufacture a huge variety of  beautiful blooms which are diverse and range in style, colour and size.  
They are also the exclusive Australian distributor for THE SCRAPCAKE collections, a Polish based company which boasts the amazing designing talents of Karola Witczak, Kinga Spiczko Pasiakowa and Agnieszka Anna Niedzwiecka.  I am also super blessed to be part of the current The ScrapCake Design Team.

For my first project for Manor House Creations, I have combined some of these beauties 


with the sublimely luscious 'One Moment In Time' collection 


to come up with a little altered wire dress form project. 

You may recall that I do have a fascination for dress forms and have so much fun playing 'dress ups' with them.
It is currently Autumn or ‘Fall’ for our OS friends here at the moment.   The colours of the leaves about my place are glorious and I have taken some colour inspiration from them for the dressing of her.

May I Introduce you to

'Autumn Glory'


And showing the reverse view which also shows a delightful Fairy Floss bloom which has been altered with Glimmer Mist. 

A dress bodice was created from patterned papers. 
A sprinkling of leaves were also added.  These were die cut with Spellbinder dies.   
 The leaves were distressed and given a light coating of ‘Diamond Dust’ along with a quick spritz of Tattered Angels Patina Glimmer Mist before being arranged and attached around the top of the skirt.
A corsage has been created from the following Manor House Creations flowers - Wishes - Hope and Taneisha.  The flowers have been altered with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists to coordinate.  I used Coffee Shop and Candy Apple Red.
