Hello … Hello my friends and a Happy New Year to YOU!! I have been thinking about this first post and just the right things to say to you but, I am much better at coloring than communicating. I hope your new year is off to a great start with some new beginnings and I wish for you only happiness.
I also have to thank you for a year of wonderful support to me and my blog. It’s your warm fuzzy comments is what keeps me coming back and creating more. So a BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!
I just had to create another layer skirt for this fashion gal like I did in this post here. I layered “Labels 8” to create a double frame with dimensional foam. I stamped the sentiments with aged mahogany on the outside of the frame and stitched the edge. The next layer is dry embossed. White dots for falling snow.
I listed the copic colors below that I used on her face, arms and legs. For the skirt I used a different color distress ink for each layer then applied icicle stickles.
Stay tuned I have a color chart to share with you soon and a giveaway as well. Thanks again for a great year! Hugs, Kathy
