Birthday Girl Card

I have been playing around with Julie Nutting's ideas from  her book - Collage Couture!  If you scroll down to my last post you will see the link to her blog.  I took her suggestion and copied a form from a magazine to make my model.  After making the template below, I cut it out of newspaper print. I love dressing the models in different clothing! 

My daughter's birthday in June 7th and I wanted to make a different card for her this year.  The hardest part is getting the hair right.  I used Claudine Hellmuth's acrylic paints to add the hair. My daughter's hair is very curly.  I don't think I quite captured her hair but I hope to get better with practice.  Here is the inside of her birthday card.  Shhh!  She is going to be 29!  Oh, to be 29 again!!

Collage Couture

Wow!   Where have the last 2 weeks gone?  Busy at work, busy at home!  I can't believe it's the end of the month, already!  I purchased Julie Nutting's new book, Collage Cuture, recently and I just LOVE it!!  It has brought out the hidden artist in me!!   I loved creating the background for this canvas art project!!  Not to mention the clothes!  I have such beautiful scrapbooking paper that I am thrilled to be able to use it for other than scrapbooking!!!  The sentiment says, " What's important about the dress is the woman wearing it!"   Check out Julie's blog here-

I used Modge Podge for the adhesive and Claudine Hellmuth's acrylic paints.  I really followed Julie's instructions to create this canvas art. Love, love, love her book!  I bought mine at http://www.amazon.com/
