Good Morning! Another DT Project!

Morning all, I hope Monday is treating you well so far!
Today I’d like to share my latest DT make for the
 Anything Goes Monthly Challenge over at My Grafico


Yes, this weeks card has turned into an Easter Bonnet!

I have to admit that this project was not all my own work!
I had a little help with some of the design features!
The image the DT were given to work with this week is the

dilekreadingtimedigitalstamp

As you may know, yesterday was Mother’s Day over here in the UK & as a result, we had a bit of a family get together!
We got all the bits for the Easter Bonnets to keep some of the younger ones entertained.
When a certain little lady saw the image I had coloured all ready for my project she fell in love with it & had to have it to decorate her bonnet.


The main image was coloured using promarkers & although you can’t see it very well, the eggs in the basket were coloured with Sakura Glitter pens to make them look like they were wrapped in foil!
First we chose some broderie anglaise to go around the brim of the hat.
This was hand stitched in place under close scrutiny! Next we added the silky flowers which were placed around the hat & again stitched into  place.
The image was backed with a voile flower & then stitched to the bonnet!


Finally the piece de resistance!


After great deliberation as to where the little peeper chicks should be placed, they were also stitched on! Some of them had to lose their feet in the process which led to much hilarity!
When it came time for the photo’s, I thought little miss may model it for me but no, she had to supervise the pictures too & nobody else was allowed near her bonnet!
Although not exactly the project that I set out to do, what fun we had making it!
I do hope you don’t mind that it wasn’t all my own work! lol
Pop on over & join in the challenge if you get a mo! If you get a chance stop by the other DT ladies blogs & leave them some love! I know they'd appreciate it!
Hugs
Dawn xx

    Morning Dawn! This is adorable! What a great make! That image is really cute and I love the flowers. What a shame the young lady in question was too shy to model it for you.....I guess you didn't fancy doing it yourself....?!?!?! LOL!!!Hugs, Ali x
