Once again, I'm playing along in the Rick St. Dennis Progressive Challenge at Sparkle and Glitter. I love this image with the vintage hats and stands. Can't you just see the Gay 90s Lady packing her best hats for a trip to Paris?
I used a combination of ProMarkers and Tim Holtz Distress Markers to color the image and used a die to cut it. I matted it with pale pink CS and punched the corners. The background papers are beautifully textured and both are from pads by DCWV, chosen to pick up the soft yellows and neutrals in the image.
For embellishment, I chose a scrap of left over ribbon, and layered the sentiment onto it. The die cut leaves (Cheery Lynn) were in my stash from some previous project so I used those and finally added the butterfly and gem.

Have you survived all the holiday weekends? Are you ready to get back into the routine of daily living? Much as I love the holidays, it's always a relief to be in my own home, doing my usual weekend chores, and finding time in the craft room to recharge the batteries. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

This is beautiful, I do love the hats, love wearing one especially at weddings. Such a shame they aren't everyday wear as in the olden days.

What a beautiful way to feature this image! The texture in the background plus the striking colour combination make for a great background. Love the butterfly and leaves detail and the sentiment which really suits the image to a tee. Thanks for playing along with the Sparkle and Glitter Progressive Challenge NanaConnie
