Lacy Skirts & Teatime! (with a Tutorial & Giveaway!)
Filed under Art Projects, Design Team, Giveaways, Newsletters, Sale, Tutorials
|
January 11th Update: |
Another lovely Design Team creation using the January Romantic Women Kit! (And a second paper doll by Rhonda Secrist Thomas! Here’s a link to her Madame Flora doll from the December 29th newsletter.)
In addition to the January Kit, here’s a few of the items Rhonda added (and all are On Sale!):
– The Avenues 6×6 Paper Pad
– White Plastic Pearls (Strands)
– Glass Window Beads
– Brass Flower Charms
– Teal Fiber Set
– Marie Fiber Set
(And a bunch of vintage crocheted doilies… see the Giveaway, below, for some suggested cotton crocheted edgings.)
Here’s Rhonda’s full supply list. And, here’s a link to Rhonda’s blog, where she shares how to make the ribbon and lace skirt.
Don’t these sweet ladies look like they’re ready to step out for a cup of tea? (Hmm… well Rhonda created these ladies so I can almost bet they have really bad habits, curse like a sailor and probably come to life during the night. But I digress!)
But back to tea(!). Well, we have two New and On Sale! sets of China and Teacup stickers that would be perfect for these ladies. (And both sets are also included in today’s Giveaway!) We also included a chipboard table in the Giveaway — to sit your teacups on, of course! I’d also suggest mixing in the On Sale! French Desserts Stickers.
And there are also 2 new dies — both with lacy or ornate designs (perfect for building a scene for your own paper doll).
Speaking of which, there’s still time to enter the Victorian Paper Dolls Swap (that’s a link to the January Kit page, where there is more info) and/or sign up for the swap on the Yahoo Group.
