Marie in Wonderland & Artwork by Kristin Batsel!
Filed under Collage Sheets, Giveaways, Kristin Batsel, Marie Antoinette, Marie in Wonderland, Newsletters, Sale
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Kristin’s project that are still available on the new site.
Just one announcement before getting to the eye candy…
The Collage Sheet Sale and FREE Collage Sheet offer from Thursday’s Newsletter is still on offer! And if you missed that Newsletter, you can still view the lovely little Fairy Gazebo by Nichola Battilana!
It’s time to announce the March Kit: Marie in Wonderland!
This kit’s theme took a last-minute swerve and has landed on “Marie in Wonderland” (though “Marie Antoinette at a Tea Party” may be closer to the theme). But who knows: you may think up a project with Alice & The Mad Hatter meeting up with Marie at a tea party!
Look at that clever (and beautiful!) artwork by Design Team Member Kristin Batsel! I designed the (New!) Die-Cut Chipboard Panniers Dress to fit some of the dresses on the (New!) Marie Takes Tea Collage Sheet (with that cut-out in the skirt, you can layer papers or fabrics underneath for some sumptuous pattern-play… or back the opening with a Tiny Paper Mache Box for a tiny shadowbox scene — like in that little photo at left).
But Kristin went a step farther and turned the chipboard dress into curtains at the top of her “sweets shoppe”! I love that little flag she made with a snippet of pink striped paper from the Homemade With Love 12×12 Collection Kit (topped with one of the new (swoon-worthy) Aqua Blue Flower Stamen — and there are 10 new colors of Flower Stamen!).
You’ll want to see all the tips Kristin shares on her blog post, like making the 3D bows on the sides of her curtains from Paperclay and the (New and On Sale!) Mini Bows Silicone Mold (and how she made little cherries for the top of the Ceramic Cupcake Beads with seed beads).
Ooh, and another tip, see that aqua Tea Party Heart Doily at the top of her artwork (and a close-up at left)? She just used a black marker to emphasize the raised areas on the lace border and the “Tea Party” lettering… clever!
There are TWELVE sheets of coordinating 6″ x 6″ papers in the kit — all 12 designs in the Harmony 6×6 Paper Pad. A few show in the bottom of the kit photo at right. From birds (and feathers and birdcages) to butterflies and damask prints and multiple styles of flowers; all in a nice small scale to fit with the size of the ladies (and some satin-clad gentlemen!) in the new collage sheets.
See the Marie in Wonderland Kit page for more kit details. Note: all the papers, die-cut chipboard, ribbons and collage sheets in the kit are On Sale, too!
And there are more new paper sets from the Harmony Collection, too — and more tiny cakes and trims not in the kit (see below for more info).
And don’t forget to scroll down to check out today’s Giveaway that includes bunches of the goodies Kristin used in her Teas & Treats artwork!
