Blue Vintage HatCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

I reduced the size and printed on Crafty Bob's 250gm matte photo paper, after adding words to one of the sentiment panels in my photo program.

I folded the front of a 6" scalloped card to make an easel base and covered portions with a paper from cup511396_692.

After cutting out the kit pieces, I glued the front and back together with a glue stick, then glued them to the easel (after first adding some lace to the hat brim by lightly sticking lacy peel-offs to the area, a small area at a time, then carefully pulling them back off which removed ink from the paper and made a lovely, subtle lacy effect).

Added the decoupage with silicone gel and used the sentiment as a stopper, adding it with thick foam pads. A bit of "framing" with glitter glue, vintage ribbon tucked under the sentiment and a couple of jewels to complete.

Lovely!
