High Style

 Hi everyone. Hope you're week has gone well.  It's Friday and almost the weekend. I hope you have something good on your weekend "agenda". My weekend won't be wild or crazy, but the hubby and I will be doing more de-construction in the spare bedroom. 

Today I am here to share another style page over at Art Journal Journey for Bleubeard and Elizabeth's What Your Style? challenge.

My page was inspired by the quote that I cut out of an Amazon holiday clothing ad magazine that I received (for some reason) in the mail back in November.  I'm happy to have it though because there are lots of "style"words and pictures I can use. That's where the "Dressed to Win" quote comes from.

I'd love to take credit for the background of my page, but I can't. It is one of those art paper you get inside a Somerset Studio magazine. I have a small pile from some old magazines I cleaned out a year or so ago.

I was inspired by the gold on the page. I started by tracing the  silhouette of the woman with a stencil on some white paper. I also traced it on my page with black paint so I wouldn't have to cut out the thin arms. I did change up this woman's head a bit though, as I thought she needed some visible hair.

I cut out the body of my stenciled on paper image. Then I used a scrap of yellow fabric and created the slinky dress she is wearing underneath her cloak. I used a glue stick to attach her cloth dress, then I cut out the body and glued it down to the black silhouette on my page.

To finish her evening look (and we know it's evening as I added the gold moon), I created her cloak out of this sheer scrap of fabric I had. The neck is cinched with the most glamorous of all accessories, a couple of staples. 

I then used some metallic paper trim, some stickers and a few plastic pearl like items to finish off the bottom of the page.  And yes, you can see my style with the slightly crooked words and trim at the bottom.

This lady is definitely dressed to win, but I look at it now and that quote would have been perfect for a sports themed page. Oh well, I didn't think of it earlier. 

I am also going to link up to a new challenge blog for me called River of Creativity. Right now their challenge is anything goes. And I am also linking up to Creative Artiste More Mixed Media challenge #79. They're challenges are always Anything Goes.

That's all for me. Have a great start to your weekend. And thanks for visiting my blog also.
