It starts with these chipboard shapes...
I covered the dresses with RedLead's beautiful artisan collage sheet...
The faces came from some of their ancestor collage sheets.
I used RedLead's alteration tags as the background. For the dress stand, I twisted some wire and pounded it flat.
Afterwards, I ended up coloring the tags with acrylic paint...
Then I sewed some random stitching with my sewing machine on the left side of the tags.
Next, I taped the dress form stands onto the tags and added the embellished dress on top...
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and Easter Sunday!
Your birthday tags are super cute!!!
