I started with a page from the Maya Road Rectangle Banner Book, it's approximately 4” x 8”.
I used some Maya Road Charcoal Mist with Brushed Pewter Perfect Pearls in it to spray the chipboard, then stamped the background stamps (Studio 490) with Encore silver pigment ink.
I wanted the bling on the hem of the dress to hang off the bottom, so I needed something on the top....enter the “sassy” sentiment from A Form of Art in white embossing powder on black chipboard, which was edged with Tim's new Pinking On the Edge die.
The scroll at the top is a Sizzix die, covered with Silver Paint Dabber, edged and swiped with Black Paint Dabber, accented with Black Enamel Accents.
I had some silver tinsel-y stuff that I thought would look cool as a “fringe” behind the sentiment.
As for “private eye girl”, lol, her face is stamped on white chipboard using the face stamp from It's Face Art...
I use this stamp a LOT. I love it. It's just the right size for many of the pieces I do.
The dress form is from A Form of Art, also on white chipboard. A little more of that pinking die from black cardstock as a hem, with some miscellaneous bling. The wings are grungeboard cut from Tim's Heart and Wings Die, covered with Silver Paint Dabber, ran thru the Victoria CB embossing folder, then sanded and swiped with Black Paint Dabber.
The hat and little bowtie are some black chipboard shapes I had lying around. I took the Art border stamp from I Am My Art, curved it to fit the hat brim, (the beauty part about cling stamps) and stamped and embossed with silver pigment ink and silver embossing powder.
Same with the bowtie, only I used the polka dot background on that.
The vine on the right is a Sizzix die also, cut from black chipboard, stamped with silver pigment ink using the alpha background stamp from Art-fully Said.
A couple of UTEE and vintage buttons, and some little grungepaper flowers cut using the Tattered Florals die, some dots and dashes using Black Enamel Accents, and ta-da!, this chick is ready to investigate....
in style, of course!
and a closer look...
