Last month's winner Helen, made this fab lamp for us:
Helen had this to say:
I had a naked bodice to hand so decided to make an apron using the Anemone Corner stamp. I used 'Mowed Lawn' Distress Ink pad on green fabric, added a pocket, a flower button and lace. I covered the bodice with a floral decoupage paper and added a bead 'necklace'.

I then had an idea to turn the bodice into a
lamp base so dug out a naked flower pot to use as a shade. I turned the pot
upside down to create a shade and covered it using 5 pieces card (one plain
piece for the top of the pot) that I coloured with a 'Stormy Weather' Distress
Ink pad and I stamped the border stamp from Nature 1 across the bottom of each
piece of card in black VersaFine. Once I had glued the card in place I used a
clear tube (piece of junk) to glue the shade and bodice together.
I think you will agree this is a fantastic idea from Helen, I'm sure she would love it if you hopped across to her blog to check out the full details. Thank you Helen for your inspiration this month for IndigoBlu.
And now to our Challenge Design Team, who have some makes to share with you too:
How creative and fun is Helens body and shade, very clever idea. Loving the design team inspiration too and looking forward to the challenge
