digi image, Queen Gorgo, Spartan Queen.
Colored the digi image using Crayola pencil
colors. I found that a white eraser helps to
remove a mistake or lighten the color.
Used some glitter gold cardstock.
Recycled some upholstery fabric that I got
at a Live to Go Green event that hubby & I
attended Sat 4/14. There was a booth that
for $2 you could fill up a cellophane bag
with whatever you wanted from their scraps
and goods. I got several pieces of upholstery
fabric, Vintage buttons, ribbon, Vintage
charms/jewelry and more. Was a wonderful
bargain for the $2.
Used Spellbinders die cut.
Used Art Nouveau Cricut cartridge for
Vase image. Used Kraft cardstock,
embossed with Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl
and Ranger Gold Paint Dabber on it.
Used vellum for a 2nd Vase image with
hand calligraphy of sentiment:
It all looks Greek to me!
Used foam dimensions to pop up images.
Added some gems for bling & ribbon.

ReplyDeleteThank you. The gold glitter gel pen I used has a nice sparkle to it not easily seen in the photos.
DeleteI originally had the ribbon on left side. Moved the ribbon to the top & added the Vases with whimsy Greek calligraphy sentiment on Vase on right. I just posted it on Paper Craft Planet. Hope I posted correctly.
