Hip Skull Girly Ensemble

Unapologetic Fashion Victim Card

this is part of my hip skull girl collection. i did the paint can first. then this and other fun stuff such as keepsake box and many, many cards and tags. i love this line and design. a bit edgy but still feminine. i also decorated the inside and tried to mimic a lace border by using the scalloped edge of a paper. i also used a scroll chipboard which i cut from original size to fit the style flow and layout i wanted. it's okay to do that! i was nervous at first. last but not the least, bathed it in brads! various ones - big, small, shaped, and more!

inside of the card: the inside is decorated as well with matching scallops and dots paper. it will say, "no excuses." but still am thinking about the font so i haven't put any.

Altered Art: Hip Skull Girly Paint Can

The fastest altered art i've done. I had only 15 mins to do this for an on the spot altered art contest because I was late to the local NSD gig. But I was one of the 3 winners and received goodies for the contest.

Here are some tips to do this under 15 minutes:

1) To hide the imperfect alignment of paper agains the edge of the can inside, I put a sticker border on the outside! This can is a bit harder to work with because you have to put the design inside the clear platic can. It's eventually cool because your work gets protected.

2) To help with organization, have pre-sorted and matching scrapbook plain and patterned papers, embellishments planned, sayings and quotes. Sometimes the hardest part is not the technique and execution, but the design, theme, and composition.

Materials: Creative Imaginations papers, stickers, ribbons. Other ribbons from various companies.
