Pals Paper Arts has a color challenge going on this week (PPA28) and I thought I'd play along because the colors are so dramatic and fun! I decided to glam up my Tote-ally Tess with a sparkly dress for her night out on the town! Julie Dinn, Mary Brown and I also did a little mini challenge…each of us coming up with a card using "Tess"! You can see their cards their cards on their websites here:
Stampin' Up!'s Tote-ally Tess was on the top of my list when the new Occasions Mini came out. I have the older set, Stella Stamper, that I've used for demo meetings and swaps. But, this is the updated version! I think anyone that stamps can related to all the tools that she has!
I used the Scallop Square Clear Die and cut a piece of Melon Mambo with the Big Shot. In each of the scallops, I added a tiny Rhinestone Brad from Eggcellent Eggs Kit. I layered a square of pink houndstooth from Sweet Pea Designer Paper to fit inside the Scallop Square. I wrapped some of the luscious Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon around it.
Tess I stamped with Black Craft Ink on Whisper White and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. On a piece of Melon Mambo Cardstock, I stamped and embossed her again, then added a thin layer of Tombow Multipurpose Glue all over the front of her, following the outline of her legs to make the dress. I sprinkled on the Rose Pink colored Fine Cosmos Glitter. After it dried, I cut out the dress and adhered it over the Whisper White Tess. I added some of the tiny Rhinestone in her hair in a flower shape! The words are from You and Moi, one of the stamp sets you can get FREE for Sale-A-Bration! I added two more tiny rhinestones on each end of the greeting.
