Crowning Glory

Good Morning

I hope that wherever you are the sun is shining on you today, here, in the UK, the sight of the sun is very welcome.

We have a new challenge starting at Crafty Boots Challenges today.  The theme for the next two weeks is 'Crowns'.  This theme was chosen by the gorgeous Gabrielle.

I recently treated myself to one or two (or maybe five) of Julie Nuttings Prima Doll stamps and I have been looking for an excuse to use them.


I paper pieced the dress, shoes and crown and coloured the skin and hair with Copic Pens.


I made the die cut flower from a coke can with a pearl brad at the centre.


I created the background with Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet and Dusty Concord.  The additional crowns are made from silver glittered card.

The rest of the Design Team have been very busy making projects to inspire you, please take a look at the Crafty Boots Challenges page and good luck.

    Love your tag! Your gal is gorgeous! I love to recycle coke cans too but I'm not sure I've made a flower as impressive as this! Think it's because I always cut my finger! Doh!
