Hello everyone,
The day I made my backgrounds for the corset die I had this one I'm about to share left over..it didn't make the cut, but not only that I had a new dies arrives and this background called for a swan..so I did a swan..
So, this is the backgrounds after they were painted and trimmed..
I just swished the paint brush up with the orange/apricot colour, then swished down the panel,
added modelling paste along the bottom and side....done.
Then some card panels with paper added, patterned but plain,
the colour makes it simple.
My swan is just so lovely, her wings are layered up with foam squares
and her crown makes her royal..the beak and nose bit were paper pieced..
So one she went with her layered panels as well and some leaves in my favourite green
for softness..
Finally, added some tiny little flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
a few pearls and a lovely stamped sentiment, gold embossed..
So there you go..
Thank you so much for stopping by, I'll see you soon..
luv CHRISSYxx
