Hats Essential!!

Welcome - it is sooo hot here at the moment, one dare not go outside without a hat!!


I enjoyed 'playing' with this set by Layers of Color stamp set Beautiful Lace, designed by Nina B.


Love this wide border and when stamped in dye inks the detail is amazing!!


This hat is also part of the set - I painted it with twinkling H2O's and fussy cut it and mounted it on foam dots.


The background doily was cut from pale blue card and the edges sponged before adhering just the centre of the doily to the base, which meant the edges lifted a wee bit giving, the impression of more dimension.


The sentiment was embossed on vellum, cut and embossed with a labels 10 die  and mounted over an identically shaped piece of blue card.

The final detail was the rhinestones and silver cord.


Thank you so much for visiting - may your day be blessed
