Today i would like to showcase for you 2 projects i have been working on using the Marilyn Munroe inspired digi called Hollywood Starlet Miss M from The Scrapbook Stamp Society from the talented artist Heather Valentin - the digi can be found HERE.
First up is a 6x6 square card. I have cut a scalloped heart in 2 different sizes and used it as a backing accent for behind the digi. The card was covered with purple rose paper and edged in pinflair flexi bend peel offs.
The digi was printed on neenah card stock and coloured with spectrum noir pens. Then it was cut closely to the edge of the image. It was shaped and attached to the hearts with pinflair glue.
The flower is made from stiffened lavendar coloured lace and it was then shaped and rolled into a flower shape. Other flower embellishments were added, a feather, a bow and a charm. I cut a flourish from a nestie and added that above the ensemble
Pearls were added to the necklace, earring and on her shoes plus added to each corner of the card.
I am entering this project in the following challenges.

Next up is a scalloped rocker card - i just adore creating these cards as they are such fun to make. I printed the digi onto neenah card stock and coloured her with spectrum noir pens.
The digi was then cut using a nestie shape, the red mirror board was then cut into the next size up and then a flower shaped nestie cut as the top of the rocker.
The bottom of the rocker was cut from a scallop circle and star paper cut to fit.
Peel offs were added around the edges of the circle. I applied lots of pearl bling and stars around the top
