Etty



I so love Etty, (a friend of Winston's)
I made a card with her the other day and as I was making it, I already had whirlwinds travelling around my head of my next project with her.
You can find the wonderfull Winston collection here
I am loving these round easel cards, but this time did a mini one, I still managed to pack lots of bits on.
All the papers, of course Etty, flowers, button, dress, zip, hats are all from the lovely Winston collection
honestly every time I look I find something new
**  Winston Deluxe Papercrafting CD Collection

The sewing maching was cut on my portrait using matching papers from the collection
I added a little pink bakers twine and then again turned to the collection for a couple of buttons, flowers and a scrap of material .

I distressed around the edge of Etty and added white liquid pearls here and there. Added a couple of hat pins and a hanger and a few pearls. A puddle of glossy accents to the flower centers.


Finished off with a little bit of bling dotted about
