I told y'all that I'd show you more about this project, so here goes!
First and foremost, my thanks to a number of ladies whose blogs have helped to create this lovely lady!
I used a number of items from Karen at The Graphics Fairy who has hundreds of awesome graphics,
and Carol at The Polka Dot Closet who has the most marvelous tutorials!! She made a lovely lady and that's where this idea came from. I believe I also used some music graphics from Dawn at The Feathered Nest... and if I missed anyone please let me know so that I can add your name and blogsite to this list.
Modge Podge and printouts...that's it!
She needs a name though....any ideas? Aria, Sonata, Etude???
Hmmmm
Cardstock was my paper of choice because I liked the color of the printouts. My printer was running out of ink...so the yellow streak in the above picture...maybe I can fix that later.
All in all I'm very pleased with it, and with the pearl necklaces and the pieces of lace collar, I'm THRILLED with it! I have another form in my craft room waiting for the next group of printed papers.
Because of their beauty and the ease of the project, I know many of you will want to try one.
The Polka Dot Closet has the tutorial as I mentioned before, as well as the source for purchasing these. The price is not bad either!

Blessings,
Doni
