Hi - I'm Mama LoveBug and Let's Celebrate was the theme I used for this Black Tie Affair Blog Hop. This theme covers many events such as weddings, formal dances, showers, retirement or promotion party, reunions, and the arrival of a new baby to name a few.
I decided to make a banner for these types of celebrations and used one of my favorite Julie Nutting Doll Stamps as the focal point. I started with some beautiful pink paper from my stash to cover the banner form and added several sentiments and several handmade flowers as well as a few pearl embellies on the doll's formal. I finished off the project with a beautiful heart ribbon, which functioned as the hanger for the banner.
Here are several pictures to give you an idea of things to employ if you wish to make such a banner to celebrate a "classy" occasion in your life.
A few points on the doll - I stamped her body once, her hair once, and her dress twice. I fussy cut the pieces and then assembled them by adhering each to the body. Next I adhered the doll to a piece of cardboard to give her stability. I then took pearl accents and placed them down the dress (pink) and across the bodice (white) for sparkle and dimension. Her hair has a coat of glossy accent for more shine.
A few points on the handmade flowers - these were from a stamp/die set from Heartfelt Creations. I stamped, cut out with the matching die, shaped the flower petals, glued them together to form the flowers, and added a spot of pearl glue in the center.
