Be Yourself - Altered Torso Tag
This week, Sentimental Sundays challenged us to try a new technique or style, so I delved into Kard Krazy's Tag Tuesday Challenge and created my first altered torso - combining it with Heart 2 Heart's Tag You're It Challenge for good measure!
My design began with the fabulous Dressmaker's Mannequin Template found at Mirkwood Designs.
Next, I chose pink and black for my color scheme since they represent the quintessential feminine color combo for me.
Then the fun began! I pulled out some of my favorite products - played with a "what will I ever do with this one" stamp set - and went to town.
If you've never created made one of these before, why not give it a try - you'll have a blast!
