Well, after the day of tornadoes 2 weeks ago, no power and then no time once we had power, I'm finally back to blogging! I even have art to share! Above is the replacement dress I made for the Marie Antoinette at the Ball swap on the Art For The Creative Mind yahoo group. I hope my poor swap partner receives this one. The butterfly paper was from a DCWV Matstack called Mariposa. SO pretty! I embossed the green cardstock with my Cuttlebug and added some ribbon rosettes, a bow on the back and the butterfly on the front. Oh, and the little pearl button! I sure hope she likes it!
Next, is the altered box I did for the same yahoo group. After about 4 unsuccessful tries at altering a box, this is what I finally came up with. I thought I had in my mind exactly what I wanted, but then I couldn't get it out in actual form. Don't you hate that?! lol This is what I ended up with. It's not what I had originally intended but I really like it, nonetheless. I hope my swap partner does too!
I used another sheet from the Mariposa matstack on top of the box. Added the 3 buds and leaves that I had left over from making my hair goodies, some trim around the edge ( I had that left over from a bellydance bra!), painted the bottom of the box gold and added some gold leafing. I'd love to know what you think!
