I have made this card for my grand daughters birthday - photo transfer using viserflex method onto calico - machine Stitched - inharnsed the colours with ink pens, coloured pensils, and clear nail polished over the top to fix and draw out the colours. The nail varnish was a little smelly and took a little time to dissipate. Hand stiched small flowers to give it the dimension. I was pleased with how it turned out.

dibbledabble1dolls — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 04:28:46 GMT

Riding on her reindeer made from a Christmas decoration purchased at a local Dollar General after the holidays and at 75% off....my princess has been a finalist in a Winter Fantasy competition and was also displayed at the "Teddy Bear and Doll Expo" in Washington, DC in 2009. The princess is entirely hand sewn and wears a garment made from silk, tulle and faux fur..her body is knit fabric and her cape is velvet that is trimmed with the faux fur. All fabrics were recycled from items in my closet and old doll clothes my daughters had long ago tossed away.
