This baby wall hanging was made by doing a modeling paste transfer onto material. I then sewed my material around the square with the image, and added some padding and sewed the back with matching fabric. Then i machine quilted with the swirls and then sewed around the edges. I added prima flowers some buttons and rhinestones and some polka dotted ribbon. This is the new release image Teddybeabo_094.

and now for some D'Arcy's Diaries inspiration from the Teddy Bo DT







I've gone with one of the gorgeous new girl images DARCYSDIARIES_002
I've coloured her with copic's and added clear glitter pen on her heart and a touch of glamour dust on her wings.
The banner is from TEDDYBOBEA_091_SWAG. A little bit of glamour dust was added to the swag.
The trellis punch is by Martha Stewart, papers by Bo Bunny Enchanted collection, and card candi by Craftwork cards.
The inside of the card read's
"with love from your little angel"
Not sure I was ever a little angel, but it just fitted the image perfectly.  I simply love stripy clothes so its as if this image was made just for me

The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp.

I have used DARCYSDIARIES-001 for both of these cards. They have both been coloured in with Promarkers. The top card was made with a digi kit which I played around in Photoshop (ooooo get me!) the second card is made using scrap bit of papers and the most gorgeous button ever! I wanted to show that by using the same image but coloured with such different colours it really changes the image itself.

I made this 7.5 x 10 journal for my first DARCYSDIARIES_002 image! I mod podged some pretty rose paper on the journal front and a rose color to the back. I then spread white paint to them with a scraper and put on a thin layer for a shabby chic look. Added some rose lace ribbon  to the edge.  The image is colored with promarkers, I added the heart and wings in a 3D fashion , and added some gold stickles to the wings and pink distress stickles to the heart.  Gold glitter dotting the edge.  I tied the jounal with some sheer green ribbon. And MY HEART JOURNAL and fun print to the front!
