Hello fellow scrappers!  This is a layout I created for the October challenge over at Inspire Me.  The challenge is to dress a dress form using primarily Webster's Pages products.  The photo is of my daughter when she was 2 years old.  She looks like she's striking a pose, but in reality she was taking a break from crying.  This is why her cheeks are all red and her eyes are glossy.  I'm not exactly sure why she was crying, but I have a feeling it was because she wanted me to stop taking pictures LOL.  









My inspiration came from these two dresses.  I combined elements from both dresses to create my own.


Here are several close-ups of my dress form.  I used several layers of paper from the Hollywood Vogue collection.  I carefully folded and distressed each layer to create this design.  I added a little lace for the skirt and embellished the dress with roses and pearls.  The actual dress form chippie is made by Dusty Attic.  I inked it with a mixture of vintage photo Distress Ink and Perfect Pearls.
The large purple flower and the flourish are made by Prima.  Here you can see a close-up of the peacock that was cut from the paper.  I added a little (or maybe a lot) of bling to its feathers.
 I hand stitched around the entire layout (I really need to get a sewing machine) and added Stickles to the center of the gorgeous flowers on the patterned paper.  
 Around the edges of the paper I added rub-on flourishes to accentuate the page.  The little gray roses were cut from the Prima flourish that I used.
