Love

Good Morning!  I am back with a project spawned from trying to finish up my half finished project. Another thing that happens to me is that in trying to finish the first design I end up with a completely new project.

I was playing with Gold Embossing Paste from Wendi Vecchi. I love how it dries it is a rich gold color. 

 This started from the Gold Embossing Paste.  I used it with a Crafters Workshop template.  Over a spritzed background which is a mix of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist(Dijon) and Chalkbord Mist (Decadence).

After the embossing paste dried I had this beautiful background.  I ended up spraying Prima Flowers, Seam Binding to coordinate.  I stamped Verses Rubber Stamps Love & Music sentiment on a coordinating tag.  I then added the Flourish from Hero Arts and tiny checkered butterflies. The charm was in my odds and ends tray. 

Products: Wendy Vecchi Gold Embossing Paste, Crafter's Workshop Harlequin, Tattered Angels - Dijon, Tattered Angels Chalkboard - Decadence, Verses Rubber Stamps - Love & Music, StazOn - Timer Brown, EK Success Butterfly Punch, Seam Binding, Prima Flowers - Innocence,  Gems, Charm

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Hats Off to You

Happy New Years Eve!  Tick! Tock! Time for a new Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge.  The theme this week is "Mad Tea Party".  

When I saw the theme of Mad Tea Party I was inspired by the T.V. show Once Upon a Time where the magical Mad Hatters hat is the portal between the worlds.

I started with a chipboard pilgrim hat which I painted white and black. I added a harlequin pattern on the top using a stencil and black acrylic paint.

I stamped the numbers randomly around the middle of the hat. I also added a smattering of red hearts. 
I created a set of cards using various stamps and added a few feathers in the band.

A side view:

 I stamped a variety of Alice in Wonderland images and colored them with watercolor pencils and cut them out to accent the sides.

 And around the back:

To finish it off I used a few ribbons around the band and edges. Now I have my own set of portal to escape through? :)
