Princess Tiara - Beeca Feeken Guest Designer

HI Friends, and welcome to my Blog today. I am back to share with you another project designed using the Vintage Treasure Dies from Becca Feeken/Amazing Paper Grace of Spellbinders as a Guest Designer for the month of July

My Final project for you today is designed with the new
"Floral Tiara Topper" and the "Cinch n Go V etched Dies"

When i saw the name of this beautiful die, Floral Tiara Topper, what better project to make then to create a Tiara. I cu tout the Tiara 6 times so i could back it with the same color of pattern paper.

I Cut the Cinch n Go V etched flowers out on card stock several times as most of the flowers have double layers, colored the center to coordinate with the pattern paper. I detailed the flowers with Crystal Clear Glitter. The stamens are from Heartfelt.

here are a couple photos for you to take a peek at!

Birthday Love - Beeca Feeken Guest Designer

My second project for you today is designed with the new
"Bella Luce Oval" and the "Cinch n Go V etched Dies"

Once again i wanted to enhance the details of this die so i made an oval card. I cut the background our of a darker paper by using the large oval and just setting if on the top fold of a card to give me the shape of the card as my base. I used coordinating paper colors to enhance that gorgeous die detail

I Cut the Cinch n Go V etched flowers out of white card and colored with Ranger Distress Ink Dusty Concord and Peeled Paint on the Leaves. I detailed the flowers with Crystal Clear Glitter.

Be sure to drop on by the rest of the Team Blogs to check out their take on these fabulous dies:
