I printed out the image 3 times and cut out and popped up a whole basket and then just the bow, an easy technique but I think it adds so much more to the finished piece. I thought the punch looked a little like a cross between a fence and a row of flowers and it's ornate look works well against the simplicity of the image.
A few pearls and rhinestones and I was done!
I hope you like it.

It's Wednesday so it means another challenge here at The Pixie Cottage!
As always we have 2 parts to the challenge and you can choose either or both to play along with.
We have a fabulous sketch and our theme this week is "Stitching", you do machine, hand or even faux stitching, all work!
I decided to do a little altering this week instead of a card and so I decorated a box.
I took the hinges and lock off before covering it with paper and then added the embellishments. All the edges are inked and I used Creative Inspirations Paint in Fairy Dust for sparkle.

I really love these images, different from what I usually do but so much fun!

Edited to add TOP 3 at Delicious Doodles!
Also the book was featured on Colorbok's Blog!. Thanks so much!!!!
It's time for another Vintage style mini book and I really love this one!
It is 6" by 6" and I used my Bind It All to bind it and added ribbon to all the rings.
Each page is inked as well as all the mats. I also added faux stitching.
The book is based entirely on the fabulous Colorbok Flea Market range, from the papers to the sentiments, handmade flowers and punched doily style mats.
Some of these I cut to create decorative corners, cool eh?
I really hope you like this one as much as the other I posted.

I'm not sure whether Dylan is happy or not in his Easter Bunny Costume but whatever he is feeling he sure looks cute!
I cut him out and used foam to pop him up on the egg for more dimension.
I'm really enjoying working with these pastel shades right now, makes me think of Spring, all soft and new :)
