Meet 'Sweet Marie'

Meet my sweet 'Kaiser' girl Maire

She is my Showcase Monday Project

at  Scrapbookers Paradise Today

Initially I thought this would be the back of

the display, but after I made it , it just seemed to be the front

and this is the back

Can't you just see her as the center piece on your table

display. You could dress her for the seasons.

You could make several themed forms for special events

For this project I used the solid dress form

I will be using the airy form with ribbons

and flowers

 I hand cut the large roses out of the paper

in several layers. I spritzed them with water

to manipulate and popped them up with 3-D

glue dots to give them some dimension.

The tiny roses I cut apart the same roses

in a circular manner. Spritzed with water

to help soften the paper and then wound

them back into tiny rosettes.

I was able to get 3 from one large rose.

The little accordion folded piece is the border

off of the larger sheets of this paper

I used Wild Honey Stain to color

the form and then stamped with

a tiny newspaper stamp from my stash

It would also look great with a musical

note or script stamp

I used the Vintage Lace Die

to cut the frilly parts of the skirt

I love this new die, it is so delicate and pretty

I know I will be able to use it for many projects

I also used some of my older spell binder die

and just cut them apart to fit for the skirt bottom.

This was a fun project and is fairly fast to do.

Supplies used in this project are:

Bonjour Marie

Madame Boutique Corest

Madame Boutique Lingerie

Ranger Distress Stain Wild Honey

Vintage Lace Die Cut Strip
