Queen Kat Contest

Hi Everyone and Happy Thursday to you all. a couple of things to share with all of you today. First of all, I made it to the Top 10 for the Queen Kat Stamping Contest and I've moved on to phase 2. How exciting is that??!!?? For this next phase, we have been asked to create a card and an altered piece and both of them are finished yeah!!! So I present to you my very first drum box. If you haven't seen these before I have a great place to get them called About Art Accents. (make sure you let Annette know I sent ya, and you will get a free little something in your order). This drum box is a little picture heavy (that's me giving you forewarning hehehe)

Here she is.

I had so much fun altering this box. For the lid, I used Glimmer Mist and grungeboard to mask. Then added some Spellbinder pendants and the image. Then covered chipboard with liquid pearls and distress stickles. Ain't she purdy???

Now I couldn't stop there, I had an entire inside to finish...

Each tier was stamped using a combination of Hearts in Touch Stamps, Technique Tuesday Stamps and 7 Gypsies rub-ons. The paper for the project is Fancy Pants Vintage Valentine. Here are a few close ups of tiers.

And finally a close up of an amazing fairy.

Now if you thought I stopped there, nope couldn't do. I have a card for the contest as well and I love love love how this butterfly turned out. It looks almost lifelike.

And the close up to see the coloring

So there you have it. My entries into the Queen Kat Stamping Contest round#2. I hope you all enjoyed them and please leave a comment of support. I'd really really really appreciate it.

One last thing for this post. I went to my first weigh in for weight watchers and I've lost 3lb 4oz. Now there is something to smile about.
