Everyone is having too much fun decorating the dressmaker's mannequin for this week's Tag Tuesday Weekly Challenge. I wanted to play! So I had to join in with my first contribution for Tag Tuesday. (Tag badge with a link is on my sidebar).
I positioned the pattern on this gorgeous Prima paper (Iron Orchid Designs: Angelique Collection: Heavenlies) so that I'd get the design I wanted. After I cut it out and outlined it with black marker, I added some lace trim and metal flowers. I used a broken necklace to create my own version of the hottest new jewelry trend, gold plated body armor, lining the chain up inside the paper's pattern. I'll probably be trendy with the big cuff bracelets and ginormous rings, but not the body armor chains. My little mannequin just will have to be fashionable for the both of us.

What a beautiful tag! Your paper selection and the metal accents look wonderful. Your heart trim at the bottom adds such a nice touch too.
Great tag! Love how you used the old necklace to embellish. Perfect lace for the bottom also. Thanks for dropping by my blog and commenting!
Talk about classy elegants! Love it all! The gold is a brilliant touch!
This is really wonderful! I love the look of it! Thanks for sharing.
So glad that you joined in on the fun this week! The swirly pattern looks so good on the curvaceous form of the mannequin as does the "body armor". I'm glad I am too old to pull off the body armor look! LOL
Fabulous tag!!!
love the paper you used as the background, very elegant mannequin. Thanks for Sharing.

Yep, you are right. I've had a piece of that scrap paper for quite some time and didn't know what to do with it, well ...

This is gorgeous. The gold body armor is a very original and wonderful approach. I really love what you've done. Be sure to join in every week. Louise always has such great challenges on Tag Tuesday. It's one of my favorite challenges.
Very cool tag - what a clever touch to use your old chains.... it's either body armor or chic Chanel!

Every song she sings is amazing, but this is my favorite.
Wow, your mannequin is amazing!!! You could be a designer, lol!
Ohhh i am loving this tag especially the opulence you managed to give to the mannequin. Its a stunner

Awesome tag!!
Ooo, love the "chain". Looks fab. That's a style now??? I had no idea. Then again, I'm not a fashionista, as anyone can see by the way I'm dressed today, in holey shorts and shirt, rofl. Your mannequin is great, so glad you are joining in the challenge!
Absolutely gorgeous!
