Well here we are just arrived back from a fabulous 2 week holiday on a Mediterranean Cruise. Two weeks of sun, seas and new places, and a few cocktails! The last few days I was thinking of what to do for this challenge and I think this one came after a few of my favourite Pear-Melon Martinis.
I made the Top Hat from some of the Fleather that I used in challenge 24, this time using an A4 embossing folder from X-cut called delicate flourishes.
I then prepared my altered surfaces as per page 45 of the Compendium of Curiosities:
Yes you may have noticed that I overheated the word on the right but I quite like it, its a little quirky, like me!
I then added some ribbon round the hat and added a nice red feather. The rose and wording were added on top.
As its now Tuesday evening I have kept this post short and to the point, unlike usual.
Pop over to Linda Ledbetters' blog to see the stunning work of the Curiosity Crew, they really rocked this challenge. Also many thanks to Inspiration Emporium for sponsoring the challenge.
