It's October and fall.....my favorite season. I love summer, but it's something about the fall. We have a new a challenge for you at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog. It's a recipe; 3 papers (plain or pattern), 2 flowers and 1 die cut. My image was picked out before I really looked at the challenge, so...it was a challenge with the flowers and a Halloween scene.
We are being sponsored by Bugaboo Digi Stamps. The winner of this challenge will receive 7 digis. Bugaboo is another one of my favorite places to get digis. Every Friday, they give you a free digi download. Check out their website.
Once I realized I had to use flowers, a card wouldn't do. This is what I came up with....a witch hat. I was thinking about doing a mix media canvas, which I'm still doing to hang up on my wall, but I saw this hat at Michael's. Paper mache hat turned into magical witch's hat with paint, paper, flowers, and a ribbon. I painted the whole hat black, just because it needed to seem finished...completely.
To make sure the paper fit just right, a lot of measuring and tracing was done. The bottom actually slipped right over the pointed top and fitted perfectly in place. The cone took some time to get together. Being paper mache, it's not perfectly shaped and lots of trimming needed to be done.
The die-cut for the recipe is the patch work on the hat. The image lays on top of the die-cut a little, but I liked the look of it. I picked out some metal flowers, but these satin flowers were a great touch instead.
The ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel. Where the ribbon met, I put some pearls to finish the look. You may use ribbon, brads, and bling on the recipe challenge. I used stickles on the tree and the stars.
Hope to see you in the Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog Recipe Challenge.
