(Made, of course, with the Very Virginia kit. I wonder if I should have bought a second one of these kits?)
To create the mannequin embellishment, I started with the form from the kit, and gently sanded it. It's got corrugated cardboard in its layers, so it gives an awesome texture once you do this. Then I ran a strip of adhesive across the "belt" area and attached the My Mind's Eye crepe ribbon to make the skirt. Underneath that, directly onto the form, I added a layer of ruffled masking tape to give it more fluff.
The flower was a tiny yellow one from the kit, but I gently spritzed it with the Maya Road Mist to give it some more depth. I also added a thin strip of clear Stickles to the edge of the skirt for sparkles. :)
The title block started with an area I masked & sprayed with the Maya Mist. I then layed down the letters, stapled them, filled in the holes with Stickles, and then did the Basic Grey rubon on top. I love adding lots of little layers like this!
For my mask, I just used the negative space from the chipboard stickers in the kit. I put pieces of paper over the rest of it so the overspray wouldn't affect the rest of the stickers (although I missed a little bit- woops!).
Hope this gives you some good ideas for using some of the Very Virginia kit!
