Sugar Creek Hollow - Vintage Bonnet

I'm so excited to be able to share another creation with you from Sugar Creek Hollow. These images are "Easter Hat" and "Joy of Spring". My hat is colored with Copic markers and is mounted on a distressed paper background which has been sponged with vintage sepia ink. The edges are curled slightly and then adhered to a piece of lace and an embossed background. Prima mini roses and a bow add the finishing touch to the bonnet. Oh, and I cannot forget the hatpin! What Easter bonnet would be complete without a hatpin?
My "Joy of Spring" image is nestled on punched card stock, the same design which frames my bonnet. The punch is from Martha Stewart, as well as the punch used for the two layers of lace on the bottom. The design paper is from Laura Ashley's "Traditional" collection.
Thanks for visiting and be sure to check out Sugar Creek Hollow's site. There will be a grand opening on March 1 and a prize given away to one lucky follower.

Pixie Dust Studio Challenge #6, 3-D Project

Time for another Pixie Dust Studio challenge entry! This week we had to create a 3-D project. I chose the "Forest Friends Princess and Peek-a-boo" stamp since it would make a great "stand-up" doll for my trinket box. First, I decorated a round box I had in my stash. I used Basic Grey "Urban Prairie" design paper to cover the lid and bottom. I punched out a lace border and then also punched out ribbon slots to thread my yellow ribbon. I attached a silk bow on the top and then added the crowning touch, my princess.
I've also included a photo of the opposite side of my box.
I think this will be a perfect gift for one of my granddaughters, hmm ... maybe I'd better make a few more!
