Sugar Nellie - Princess

- Hello Sugar Fans -

I hope you're all fine and dandy. I hope it's lovely wherever you are. Well I don't know about you but it felt decidedly cold here today, in fact it felt like winter; mind you it was glorious here the other day, it was like a summer days. I don't know.....good old British weather lol.

Anyhoo, it's Wednesday and my turn to share my Sugar Nellie make with you. So this week I thought I would make a little Christmas bauble --- well why not! I used the ever so pretty 'Princess', which is available as a digital stamp from Funkykits.  I've never actually used her before, but I just think she's so sweet and I adore her dress, and of course I had to make it sparkly. A girl needs some glitter in her life --- don't you think!  

I apologise in advance for the photograph quality of the baubles. Unfortunately it's not fantastic as I had to turn off the camera flash and my overhead light to try and avoid the reflection in the plastic bauble. Also the plastic seems to have distorted the image slightly making it a little blurry - so if I can take some better pictures I'll upload them in their place.

 

  

Here's What I Did

Firstly I die cut 2 pink scallop circles from card for the back of my bauble. Next I printed the image onto colouring cardstock along with a sentiment and die cut it into a circle, distressed the edge and attached it to one of the scallop circles. I printed out a further 2 images and coloured them all with Copic Markers and then fussy cut out the parts I wanted. The 'Princess' image was layered up onto the base image, then glitter and a gem was added to her dress. I placed a few die cut glittery stars and white dots around her to add a little interest.  Using strong glue PVA I smeared a small amount around the rim of the bauble I attached it to the circles. 

To stop the bauble from tipping forward I added a little extra weight by gluing a few coins to the back, I used the remaining die cut scalloped circle to hide them using foam tape.  To finish off I added a length of Bakers Twine and a ribbon.
