Happy Bday HAT!

Recently I went to a crazy mad hatter sleep over party, so as I was feeling creative and inspired when I designed my friends card, this is what I came up with:



:D It took me ages but I finished it and I was very proud :P

This is the technique I used to create the hat: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/boxinabag/ - except I didn't pinch it together at the top and added a lid and a base.

I did as much as I could with the hat before I wrapped it around the box base.

I used:

• cardstock
• PP
• ribbon
• wire
• brads
• flowers
• stamps
• eyelets
• embossing powder
• charms
• cotton
• tearing =D
• and some more ribbon, and some more PP, and some more............

I'd love to hear what you think!

Song Bird

Hey!
Decided to try TWO new things: gothic arches and shabby!
Glad to say I loved them both :)

The arch is for the September challenge(music) over at Let's get shabby :


I used:

• cosmo cricket earth love papers
• "song bird [fly]" form paper artsy hotpick #1005
• bird from tim holtz urban love collection
• distress inks(of course)
• twine, lace, buttons, ribbon, net ribbon
• photocopied scales
• the roses were made using brown bazill(with stamps for effect) and white bazill with japanese paper

Hope you like it, and remember to pop on over to Let's get shabby!
