anyway, their challenge for all four fridays of may was to make twinchies... (like inchies...but 2x2" instead of 1x1") ...and this week's theme was "crowns". for some reason, the lovely miss stephanie thought i'd be interested in making crown-themed items (go figure!!!) so she sent me a link! (thanks, stef!) :)
i had a LOT of ideas, but probably the strongest involved...for some reason...butterflies, so i went with a "monarch" theme, and tried it three different ways.
a diecut & some german scrap on a fancy digi-background:
a vintage lady with punched butterflies & a patterned paper crown:
and an inky machine-stitched silhouette with a 3d sticker:
those are my takes on twinchies with crowns. i wonder what this month's format will be? can't wait to find out! ♥
(materials: digi papers: landscape art #6 by anna aspnes & fancy garden edgers by katie pertiet, both designer digitals; vintage & misc items: german scrap crown, hindi newspaper, vintage lady illustration & text from a book, sheet music, dymo labels; patterned paper: k&co, teresa collins, basic grey; gems: recollections; crown sticker: jolees; butterfly punch: martha stewart; adhesives: uhu gluestick, 3m foam tape, sewing machine)
Ok, now I know what i'm making tonight :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe not CROWN ones, but definitely TWINCHES!
I've seen them before, but you reminded me with your amazing little pieces of art.
FABULOUSNESS!
UG, and I spelled that wrong.
ReplyDeleteMake that TWINCHIES.
Or maybe I should make that Twinkies. Those are also tempting.
Love all your monarchs. Is there a power struggle in your craft room now? Sorry. I just had to ask. These are so fun. And cheery. And I love each one. Now I want to check out this challenge tomorrow. (Like I need another thing to do!)
