Also, today the E-Team is excited about helping Daisy celebrate eclectic Paperie's 4th Anniversary. Yep, I can remember while on Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen Design Team (along time ago), I became a customer of eclectic Paperie, and never left. Daisy, I wish you many more years of success, and continued friendship. So when you visit eclectic Paperie's today, be sure and give some congrat's.
Well, this project was truly an adventure for me (outside my box), but I must say I had a blast making it! I did nothing to the wood before I started, just painted it with acrylic paint, and covered with cardstock on 3 sides, the back has embossed metal sponged with alcohol inks, and sanded with a sanding block. The flowers were sprayed with Glimmer Mist, and lightly covered with Stickles. The puffy white thing at the top is a ponytail holder I got from Hobby Lobby, and cut it to fit. The rest of it was covered with items I've had that I just kept adding, and adding. The problem was knowing when to stop LOL! it's such a fun way to create, and the only limit is your imagination. I'm so glad I tried it, now I'm hooked and can't wait to do my next Chunky ATC.
Thanks for visiting today - Hugs Linda - ♥

wow this is a great work of art. though there's so much going on its design, i can't help but notice it's classic aura.
it feels like this came out of a Disney classic movie, i just can't figure out which yet.
