Sunday Stamper - All Around my Hat

Realised this evening that I hadn't made anything for Hels' Sunday Stamper this week so because Grim chose a song by one of my fave bands I thought it would be rude not to creep in at the last minute (almost!) with an entry. So, whilst watching the tennis - Andy Murray just about to win - come on, don't blow it now - I decide to make a tag and used my new Tim sewing die - fresh from the packet.


I covered the die with mulberry paper and stamped a Wendy background on it, cut a jaggedy edge hem to the "dress" and a Tim trim to the centre. Covered the cotton reel with some glittery thread that I also used round the hat. The hat is a mattboard diecut I have had about a million years and is by Stampendous. I bought loads of these all those years ago - and have used about 2.... including this one!! I painted the hat with twinkling H2O's in teal.  The tag is smooshed with distress ink fromthe craft mat, and some blue perfect pearl for a bit of shimmer.

Hope to have a play tomorrow or Sunday with my new Art Parts... can't wait! (yes, another pressie to myself!)
