This is another one of my Spellbinders monthly gallery projects from last month, a 12x12 scrapbook page. You can click on that gallery link above and now see that most of the designers' artwork has been added. There may still be a few missing links and projects but still, a lot of new artwork to gaze upon!
My youngest daughter LOVES to dress up, and concocted this wild outfit one day. She started out first with JUST cowboy boots & hat and nothing else except underwear . . . I saved you all from that photo, LOL! So then she decided to put some clothes on and I guess the ballet tutu was the first thing she put her hands on. Stickhorse in hand, she was proud to show me her new outfit!

I made the tutu die-cut embellishment 3-dimensional:
by sewing together/gathering three strips of wide organdy ribbon:
and then cutting a slit in the bodice of the dress and tucking the ribbon into the slit:
Then the bodice of the tutu was inked, to make it pop out more, against the skirt. The title was die cut with the same patterned paper I used for the mat around the page and then additional letters were cut with plain yellow cardstock and layered offset underneath, for a shadow effect:
The journaling box was die cut with a Classic Scalloped Circle Nestabilities from patterned paper and the edges inked:
I love this Julius alphabet I die cut the "Cowgirl" title with, using both upper and lower lettering . . . and those big baby blue eyes!
If you check back in later this evening (Tue, March 25 @ 5pm CST), I'll be participating in Papertrey Ink's new Blog Hop. I had fun creating this month's challenge project using ribbon as the main focus!
