Movie Star Glamour

As soon as I saw this Victoria Case for SCACD image from Quixotic Paperie, I thought she looked like a glamourous movie star from the golden age of film :) and that was the inspiration for my card today. I have used paper from Tim Holtz' Vintage Shabby collection. I am entering my card into the Truly Scrumptious Challenge as they would like to see vintage themes.

I coloured Scarlet Bonita with copics and after cutting out with an oval nestie I smothered it in glossy accents and mounted it onto some gold pearlescent card. I then attached part of a fancy label die cut and some chain so that she is in a locket. The silver stars are a Sizzix die, cut from silver pearlescent cardstock.

I'm so proud of my flower!! I made it myself using some silk chiffon and tulle. It is one of those where you melt the edges of the fabric on a candle flame (yikes!!) I have seen these all over and loved them but was always too afraid to try it thinking I'd probably set myself on fire or something LOL - it turns out you don't even need to have the material near enough to the flame to catch fire - it melts about an inch away from the flame!! (phew!! wish I'd known that months ago LOL). I added a gorgeous Whiff of Joy brad in the centre and the pink blossoms are from a stem I picked up at a garden centre.

The ticket sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps, stamped onto the same gold cardstock as the pendant. The shell is a Hero Arts stamp that I've done on shrink plastic. The whole display is mounted on top of a fluffy white feather for a hollywood glamour look.

Of course, to keep in with my movie glamour theme I had to add some Tim Holtz film strip ribbon - love it so much that I can't use it LOL! The lace is a bargain find from Boyes - 40p for a big bundle!!

Hope you like it and thanks for looking! x
