Altered Indigoblu Mannequin

August 10, 2014 Sarah

Hellooooo……

It has been a while since my last blog post, too long, i think, but I have been busy 🙂

Today I have an altered Indigoblu mannequin /dressform to share with you…. this will be coming along to all the Indigoblu demonstrations I will be doing in the coming months.

There is a cool technique used on the mannequin, whereby you stamp tissue in the ink and stamps of your choice, then apply it to the mannequin with slap it on matte..

I have also used the large butterfly stamp with megaflake stamped onto vellum twice and attached them back to back to give it wings that look good from both sides..

I also added various trims and embelishments from my wee craft shed to finish her off..

I hope you like today’s project, now I have tackled doing one, I quite fancy making more 🙂

There will be a full supply list at the bottom of this post if you fancy having a go at making one for yourself 🙂

Supplies List :-

Indigoblu Slap it on starter kit with Mannequin.
Indigoblu Garden Cottage Acrylic Paint : Banana Custard
Indigoblu Gee-so good White Gesso (mixed with banana custard paint to give it a creamier look)
Stazon Cherry Pink and Orange Zest
Tissues
Vellum Cardstock
Megaflake in Lancashire Rose
Indigoblu Flitter Starter Kit
Indigoblu Butterfly Stamp
Indigoblu Script Background Stamp
Various trims and embelishments from my wee shed.
