this week's challenge....a flower pot with flowers. :) Based on page 16 from Book #2.
I took the flower pot definition loosely, and used the boot from the Steampunk stamp set.
Here we go:
I pleated some tissue tape underneath the scallop circle and the 6 x 6 base. All stamps are Studio 490. For the scissors and thimble, I painted some manila card with silver paint dabber, let dry, stamped the image with black archival, dried, and covered with glossy accents to make it look like shiny metal. Not bad. The little chipboard needle is Maya Road. Added some vintage buttons in the corner, and ta da, DONE!
Well, who knows if I'll have any time this holiday weekend to be in cyberland, must make hay while the sun shines! (not literally, but you know what I mean, lol). Have a great weekend, I'll be back later!
