I used pieces of paper from 7 Gypsies and cut them out and altered them. This is a card and I cut an aperature in the middle and then placed a scrap piece of 7 Gypsies acetate in the space and some inked scraps of doilies and seam binding. I used some lacy ribbon around the bottom of the card and to create a necklace.
The second card is more girly. I spent ages finding dictionary definitions around the idea of ribbons, haberdashery, milliners and adorn and glued these down with a little blue tinted mod podge. I then used cosmic shimmer chalk purple. I was going to spray it but the nozzle clogged so I just painted it on instead. The lovely ladies came from The Vintage Moth. I think it was originally an advertisement for hats. I then added some baking twine or ribbon or bling to each hat and stuck them down. It seemed a little unfinished so I made holes all round the edges and used another piece of bakers twine to sew around the edge. I should really measure or draw lines when I do this as you can see the holes are not perfectly lined up. I wound the twine around the bottom of the card and added a dragonfly charm.
Thanks for popping by.
