Truth be told, I think I started this Serendipity Squares challenge a few years ago when it was the TLC then or a Ways to Use it. I had made the sheet of paper with torn scraps. I love the color palette! I got part of the mannequin covered, but lost track of time and never finished it. I've come across it several times over the years and just couldn't make it happen. Thank you, Sabrina, for bringing it back to the TLC. Having the scrap paper already made was a real help. I also used a background stenciled from my stash.
The Picasso quote: 'Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life' was inked directly on the background. No matter how much time I have to create art, I always come away from it refreshed. Even when it is years in the making...
Hope you've had the dust washed off recently. I'd love to hear your story. Thanks for stopping by...

I love the acetate film skirt and the butterfly adornment. Isn't it fun to be able to refresh something stale? Love that you were able to revive this beauty to share with us.

Stunning...I love the dress that you pieced together and the quote is so true. It’s always great to rescue a piece of art that you had forgotten about and turn it into a stunning piece. TFS. Happy day

Wow, this dress is so cool! So glad you rescued it, Susan. The color pallet is stunning and the details on this are as well. Fab make! Fab words too - so true. Art helps the soul for sure. Hugz

If I were XX years younger and XX pounds lighter I would wear this dress....it's so cool. Glad you found it in your stamping "closet". Very fashionable! Fun card and I agree with Pablo.
ps-nice staging...
