Denim Party Dress - SDC30 Recycle

This is one challenge that had me thinking....Normally when I recycle, I create some type of altered item, but looking through my stash, nothing was jumping out on me, so I decided to use up some of my DH's Denim Shirt I had in my "might use later" pile.

I stamped the Pretty Party Dress in Black Archival on the Jean Shirt, cut it out, cutting off the hanger.  I stamped the Damask in Stormy Sky Distress Ink to add a pattern to the jean material.  I added the dress to a Tim Holtz Hanger and added it to the card with dimensionals.  To create the Flower, I dyed a piece of the material with Ranger Distress Stain (Fired Brick) and cut with the Tattered Floral Die, added a pattern with the Mesh background stamp.  To finish off the card, I added some Faux Stitching to the Cosmo Cricket papers and added the fun sentiment, also from Stampotique.
