Hanging Up Spring Time Swap Items...Almost Done

Well, I've got all of my items ready for the Spring Time Swap. One of the directions said to use a heavy cardstock, but because I didn't happen to have any on hand, and because my funds were too low to go out and buy some, I used a piece of cardboard that I found on the back of a letter-sized notepad, and then I was able to peel off the amount of layers I wanted to created a heavy cardstock thickness.

For the hat I used linen paper and ribbon. For the gloves, a peel and stick fabric. The top of the gloves are adorned with ribbon and jewel-studded brads. The dress, bloomers, bird and butterfly are all constructed from paper scraps and ribbon.




This swap was a lot of fun. The deadline is March 14th so I got done a bit early. This gives me time to finish my Spring Fling Tutorial Challenge at http://artistreborne.typepad.com/ ,which is due on March 1st.



I'm still seeking more swaps so let me know if you know of any new ones.
