Flapping Good Time

DSC03559

I love flapper dresses, so when I made my first order of Greeting Farm stamps, I had to add in Flapper Anya. I love this stamp, especially the feather. I think it’d be great to have a stamp just of the feather – maybe a bit larger.

I coloured her by taking ink from my V15 marker with the tip of my colourless blender, and applying colour from the fringes down in each section of her dress. It didn’t look as even as I wanted it to, so I just smeared Diamond Stickles over everything. :)

You can really see the shine in this angled shot!

The background paper is from a K & Co mat stack, and the sentiment is from Magnolia. I find their sentiments a little expensive, when you compare them to the character stamps, but they are always in such nice fonts! Flowers are Prima, and the row of pearls and the pearl brad that are the exact same colour…. are different companies! The row is Recollections (Michaels brand) and the big one I got in a really on sale package from my local scrapbook store.

The background paper made me think of old-fashioned wallpaper – it seemed about the right era for a flapper! I love purple and green together, and I can enter it in Simon Says Stamp’s Show us your Green challenge.
