M is for Mannequin!

I discovered a new site this week called Ready Steady Stamp where challenges are set every two weeks on a Wednesday.  For the current challenge participants are required to use 5 specified ingredients as shown in their scroll below

I made an ATC and used the ingredients as follows:

1. 
   
   The letter M - a wooden scrabble tile
2. 
   
   The colours - well, they're all in there somewhere
3. 
   
   Stamped flowers - I rubber stamped two flowers onto aluminium,  embossed and painted them
4. 
   
   Gesso on the background - this was the most difficult part, or the least successful anyway.  I rubber stamped some stitches down the left hand side with Gesso instead of ink.  I think they are just about visible!
5. 
   
   Rubber - that was a bit tricky too, but I ended up using part of a rubber band as a belt around the waist of the mannequin.  Luckily it was a dark pink colour so I didn't need to do anything else to it.

The scratchy black background is a rubber stamped image (from Stampers Anonymous 'Slight Alterations' collection), and the mannequin was painted with Claudine Hellmouth Studio paint (Landscape Green) and then covered over with a paper napkin.

This was a fun challenge and I like how the ATC finished up.
