Shades of Beauty

I'm sew excited and thrilled to be able to use this word art which is one of Paulette's Create with TLC newest creations: Shades of Beauty.

Guess, it's the overachiever in me but I am doing this image two (2) ways first being that of a journal cover:





RECIPE:
  • paper background is DCWV Girlhood Stack which was cut to size for my notebook
  • butterflies were embellished with Stickles and adding "bling" from the dollar bin at Michael's along with black pearls from Queen & Co. for their antennae
  • image was colored with Spectrum Nor Markers with chalking around the edges
  • Queen & Co. pearls came to the rescue again with out-lining the image
  • flowers in bottom left corner was another dollar find from Michael's
  • Darice Satin Edged Organza ribbon is glued under the background to tie the journal together when finished
  • upper corner is a Large Ornate Bronze Corner piece from Miriam's Crafting Supplies which is the best place to find those great embellishments to use on your projects
I loved loved loved this image sew very much that I just had to print it on a piece of fabric also



RECIPE:
  • paper was fused onto a heavy-weight craft bond interfacing and then cut 8.5 x 11 inches
  • image was selected and printed using my Canon 4-Way Ink Jet Printer
  • image was then colored using my Spectrum Noir Markers with hi-lights using Zig pens
  • to finish and make your image permanent get waxed paper and press with no steam on a low iron with the waxed paper, image face down, and press on the side of your fabric with the fusible craft interfacing
I just love this other option but just can't decide what to do with it now - I have a few options and asking for your assistance in how to finish this fabric printed digi:
  1. make into a tote bag
  2. make into a vintage wall-hanging
  3. create a denim vintage jacket around this piece with this being the center back

Let me know what you think and some lucky person may just win the above journal.
