A Mini 3-D Project


Hello friends, so happy to have you back with me today for Fairy Fun Friday ! Our challenge this week is to make a 3-D project. My week has been super hectic and I didn't have a lot of time to plan. I remembered seeing this lovely bookmark highlighted a few weeks ago on SplitCoastStampers. Here is the tutorial posted there. I whipped this together in just about two hours which is equivalent to lightening speed for me. I had a real urge to drag out some fall colors but I mitigated it a bit by choosing a pattern with some blue in it rather than all earth tones. The colors here are Chocolate Chip, Really Rust, Baja Breeze and a snippet of really, really old SU DP called Autumn Meadows. I used Spellbinders Labels #1 and a border die. The image is Terracotta Pot from the Prairie Fairy and it was colored with Copics. I finished it off with machine stitching and some pretty crinkled seam binding.

I hope you'll make something 3-D to share with us this week at Fairy Fun Friday. Stop by the blog and maybe even the blogs of the rest of the DT.

Hi Linda!!
Hope this finds you well. It's been ages since I've blog hopped but I had to come visit you - and of course, get lost in the gorgeous projects you have posted!

I think many months ago you had asked about a stamp I used on a card --- I found one tonight on ebay and thought I'd share --- if it wasn't you then I'm so sorry for overstepping like this. K?

Have a great weekend! I am getting together with my dear stamping friend and we are going to spend some time creating!
