This is the sketch from Michelle...
And this is what I made from it....
I used BoBunny's Timepiece collection, did a little stamping with a La Blanche stamp and some extra brickwork stamping as well.
A little ballerina from Prima...the photo was of Chantelle's Matric Farewell dance after all!
I build a little window sill scene by cutting the shutters and actually folding them back like real shutters! Some flowers and a piece of Dusty's Wrought Iron Trim, and it looks like a French Villa scenery!
The doily from Dusty and the Wrought Iron Trim were first painted with some Pearl Dabber and then given a generous spray with Lindy's Stamp Gang Mist...a metal embellishment and a cameo finish of the doily.
I did some spider web lacing according to Kay Fatula's tutorial. It looks much better when the spacing is a little wider, but I did not plan on doing this technique there for I did not have enough width between the two pieces of patterned paper.
Thank you for your visit...have a wonderful week ahead!
