30 May -Using Fibers

             Using FIBERS is our creativity to share with YOU today!!

I hope you have come from Erica's cricut craft room at  mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com   IF not, thank you for coming here BUT I would LOVE it if you would go back here when done to see more creativity with Fibers OR the other feature today which is WYEGW using the Phrase feature.  (WYEGW is Would You Ever Guess Wednesday) using a feature OTHER than the main one you see..

This was FUN!!!   Creating a project using fibers was a challenge other than a "ribbon" style; at least for me.... After a while staring at the fibers - a light came on and well...

                    

I found this awesome manequin on the cartridge Forever Young. Cut at 5.417h & 1.792w. using the Bubblegum Stripes Imagine cartridge for the fill of color on the manequin.    I cut it 2 times making the 2nd; using the bottom to be a solid color and the top part as a back drop to the top.  Using 3d  dots to give it the raised look.

(*** NOTE..  The colors of manequin "dress" and bottom of stand is supposed to be black BUT evidently I am almost out of black ink on my imagine and it came out grey..)

I used fibers from Ctmh Summer Celebrations Z468.  I wrapped the multitude of misc colors starting at the top like a shaw and then wrapping around the waist on down as a skirt of many colors.    Using a strand of silver cord from ctmh - I wrapped it 2x to give a little extra like a belt...

I used 2 colors of Liquid Pearls as buttons along the shaw and skirt.  Majestic Purple & Gold Pearl

Stamp sentiment is from Kandrewdesigns 'Fashionable Friends"  I used 2 sayings to create this sentiment.

Using Grey Wool ctmh  ink pad around the edges and the sentiment.

Tell me... What have you created using Fibers other than hanging on your card like ribbon???   Would love to know!
While Erica's Shop may not have Ctmh fibers - she has many other style fibers, these cartridges used today, Liquid Pearls and much much more...  at  http://www.shop.ericascraftroom.com/

Head on back to Erica's cricut Craft Room HERE to see MORE creativity! from my fellow design Team Sisters!!!
