The New challenge is up over at Project 52 .. Pop Over and have a look at what the Amazing DT girls did this week! or keep reading for Challenge Details!
I created a fairy Queen, representing me and my name, she has a crown, created using Cuttlebug Die Cuts, Wings I created using baking paper , and muslin, and layers of paper pieces and sequins, threads and paint. Once it was all dry I painted, and cut out the wing shape, and attacked it with the sewing machine. Added some beads and sequins, Hey presto Wings!
Inside the Shadow Box, for which there is a tutorial on the forum, I placed a tree the number 4 and a cupie baby to represent the 4 children I have grown. The flattened bottle top I found whilst out shopping is added under the heart and tied on with threads. I added mulberry paper flowers and ribbons to finish my mini me.
