As with any purchase I make I ask my myself how versatile will this be? Unless I can think up multiple uses I won't get it. Certainly the Grass die (Tapered Fringe) fit this for me. I really like it...so now to challenge myself on how to use it.
What to do with this grass die?
Make it a WEDDING DRESS! Shut the Front Door...layers of tissue cut with this die makes for a great dress. Oh those middle of the night inspirations!
But first, the tag. I sprayed my tag with Adhesive and glued some heavy duty tin foil. Then embossed with the new French Script folder. I painted gold, sanded then heat some UTEE. Seriously, so pretty!
I cut and layered tissue with Tapered Fringe, starting at the bottom of the Sewing Room Dress Form die. I also glued the matching tissue to the dress form. I'm going for a monochromatic look here.
To achieve a "bust" I simply glued a little cotton then folded the tissue over it. I tied and glued the gold bow, then hot glued this old metal button of my grandmother's.
Layering the 2 small Tattered Floral flowers cut with Oven Liner. I embossed and inked the larger flowers, layering 3x. Curl the tips for a fluffy look.
I cut a little banner and stamped "Always & Forever" from TH Simple Sayings, attaching with the Tiny Attacher. Along the bottom is some Tinsel, heated and inked with more gold paint.
This Wedding Tag is a challenge for me to find a new way to use my new Grass die (Tapered Fringe;) I might attach the tag to a card or simply drape it over my favourite bottle of
French Wine as a wedding gift:o)
I would like to know your thoughts on what you would use the Grass die for?
