Gold and Grunge, Valentines and Paper Dolls

 

  The New Year is off to a fast start.  Hard to believe it’s only a month till Valentine’s Day.  So time to start thinking about making something for our loved ones.  This is a collage made on a 6×6 canvas board, painted with Lumiere paint and using the new Basic Grey Stella Ruby papers, Grungeboard painted with Lumiere paints, Collage Sheet, #76, and hung the nifty little Petite Hanger.

 

  And a sweet Valentine card, again using Basic Grey Stella Ruby papers, Collage sheet #45, and some the new German Dresden Scallop Trim.

 

  And even more exciting is the new Fibre Whimsy shoppe. With just a little Roving and Clover Needle Felting Tool, you can add a felted heart to make a card really special.  Mount it on a foil frame or doilie, with a few leaves, and that’s all you need!

Now the Paper Doll project.  Over the next few weeks I will be creating Whimsy paper dolls.

 

Using Collage Sheet #133, I created a doll mounted on a paper cone.  I wrapped several layers of crepe paper for the skirt, and added lace ribbons, rhinestones, flowers, and she is even holding a little bird.  Check back soon for more paper dolls, and tutorial.

    Oh MY! I’m DROOLING over the felted heart and the paper doll. You keep adding to my list of things I need to try! I’ll be busy till I’m 95! They’ll have to pry my latest craft addiction out of my bony little hands! Thanks so much for the inspiration, Rande. You are one of my very favorite artists and always coming up with something inspirational and always beautiful.

    Have a Blessed and Creative New Year!
