Ring a Ring of Roses......D

Happy Sunday everybody

Today I am showing you a piece I have been working on over the weekend and it was a just for me project.

I had several chipboard body forms and decided to make a 3D version and also wanted to try light and shabby chic.  Still headed for the darker roses though lol.

I covered each body form with modelling paste and stamped using random rubber stamps into it.  I used several layers of paint ending up with the dry brushing technique.  I made the base out of 2 layers of chipboard, using the same technique as the body forms.  I then stuck them to the base and together to form a triangle.

As you can see I have used flowers, ribbon and trim from my stash.


I made the hat out of chipboard and again covered with paint, trim and flowers... oh I must not forget the feathers 
lol. 

Now for overload of images.  Hope you like them!




I am laying this where my mothers ashes have been scattered for Mothers Day. My mum died a year ago, 2 days after MD.  I made it for her. Hope she can see it.

 Thank you for taking the time to drop by.


Hugz and love

  15. This is so pretty, I'm sure your Mum will see and love it.


    Not sure what your favourite colour is, Pink? or purple?, as you have equal quantities of both, and you have not stated which when linking your entry.

    Thank you for joining us at Penny's Paper Crafty, and good luck in the draw.

    Hugs,
