I'm not usually too much of a technique person, but I thought I could handle this tent topper design. It did not turn out as I had originally planned; and, for the DDIC challenge, the inspiration cake was a richer chocolate color, but this is what I've come up with.
I could not even believe that I made that bow all by my little ole self. It surprised me as much as the bow I think. Probably won't happen again, so enjoy while you can!! LOL!!!
I paper pieced the flower with bashful blue dsp and popped it up on dimensionals for a 2-layer effect, added butterflies, pearls, fern leaves and ef's. I used the textile ef on the patterned paper, but you may not be able to see it in the photo.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and if you have a quick moment, let me know what you think! Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!!
