Back in the day, ladies wore hats - highly decorated and decorative hats. Going out without a hat was very bad taste and just not done. I love hats and I do wish that wearing them was still in style. Nothing starts off the summer fun more than getting a new summer hat. :-D
This adorable image is from Di's Digi Stamps and I knew the minute I saw it that it called for blues and purples. I colored with watercolor paints then cut the image with a die from Sizzix. I inked the scalloped edges and started thinking about how I'd do the background.
Lying on my craft desk was a scrap of white lace but white just didn't make the image pop. I grabbed my Dylusions Ink Spray (Grape) and used it to dye the lace. The lace was marvelous when put onto white CS and really made the image the focus.
I found a scrap of dp in the basket, trimmed it to size, and placed it diagonally across the lace, then I added the image circle. I sewed together one of my signature bows with a dark pearl and added it for embellishment. The sentiment was printed, hand cut, and inked on the edges to match the image piece.
