Claire Selby one of a kind Paperdoll

On the 9th Day of Christmas my true love assembled for me…a dancing lady Paperdoll! This Festive gal has lots of style, in her bright pink dress to her almost Zebra like tights, she is ready for dancing! My Dancing Paperdoll started out as an Artchix Studio image that I adorned with German Dresden white wings for a feathery bonnet! Turned upside down the wings made me thing of Odette’s headpiece from Swan Lake! For the arms I recycled a West Elm fabric swatch by gluing it to cardstock with Aleene’s® Original Tacky Glue™ and then cutting out the upper and lower arms once it dried. The legs were vintage calligraphy pages also glued to cardstock, but I chose to cut these out as one piece. The dress is also Recycled from an Amy Butler scrapbooking paper scrap. I added the pretty tartan ribbon printed from Sandra Evertson’s book. And to finish her off, she is festooned with a glittered garland cutout from a Martha Stewart glittered card kit. She is truly an assembled lady, it feels great recycling things I have and repurposing items I own to make something new!
