Well it's finally here ... TAC Seminar. I am headed off tomorrow and can not wait.
One of our tasks was to take a chipboard heart that they sent us with our registration pack and to "decorate it".
I was stumped and not really sure what to do ... then I had an idea and here is the result:
First I covered the heart with Uptown Girl paper and inked the edges with Claret ink. Then I added Modge Podge to the heart to stiffen it up and make it more durable. After it dried, I added 2 flowers to it and attached them with pink eyelets.
Then I took the girl stamp that came in our Seminar stamp set and paper pieced her dress out of Uptown Girl paper. I colored her hair, face, and scissors with copics. I used a white gel pen on her lace collar. Then I completely covered her with Modge Podge. Then I cut a thin strip of white cardstock and stamped "Seminar 2009" and of course then Modge Podged that.
I put the whole thing together using foam tape to make it have more of a 3D effect .... and the great thing ... it's not heavy!
I connected it to my badge ... but I wanted to make it removable. So I added velcro! Gotta love Velcro!
This is the side view ... You can see how 3D it is in real life.
Ok ... off to finish packing ... more fun snipets over the next couple of days.
