This wonderful sketch by Aymee Gandy is the challenge this week over at Stuck On You Sketches. I thought I wouldn't get this done in time! lol... it's hard to scrap during the week. I think I started mine on sunday, and only finished it last night. Talk about eye-popping bright!
I have very few pictures of just me. Very very few. One of the few times I allow photos of me is at Halloween if I'm wearing a costume. I guess I feel more comfortable in a costume than in my own skin. Anyway, where I worked back then, for years and years did not allow costumes on Halloween, go figure, it was a public library and mostly kids come there. But finally we got a new director who was cool with the costumes.
I used DCWV papers from the Taj Mahal stack, a Prima flower vine, bling, stickles and some mini alphas from Making Memories. The ball trim was from a grab bag of remnants and the gold trim is actually leftover gold lame' bias tape that I made for my wedding dress and my attendants dresses. I made hundreds of yards of it I think! and have a ton left, lol.
Cricut carts used: Gyspy wanderings (marquee), Indie Art (butterfly), Accent Essentials (flourish), Storybook (welded border)
Before I bought my gypsy and really started using my cricut for everything, I spent tons of money on embellishments, especially flowers, and these fancy Prima stems. Then Sandy goes and posts a tutorial on how to make these stems! Well, I have tons of embies to use up, and I'm determined to use them up since I spent my money on them! However, it won't stop me from making a custom-colored stem should I need one. ;)
Thanks for looking!
