You shall go to the Ball



We went to see Andre Rieu in Concert last week in Glasgow. At one piece of music he had a Ballroom as the backdrop, which reminded me of the film Cinderella and the carriages bringing them all to the ball. My friend had also sent me a picture of a Christmas Decoration and the 2 things combined together, my Inspiration was  now complete to start my project.

 I used a Cheery Lynn doily die to cut out my main images and backed with beige paper, edged with distress and sprinkled with Glamour dust.



The front of the carriage I layered a piece of acetate behind. For the rear of the carriage I stamped an image and built up frame as shown in photo as wanted to give the effect of 3D and to be a Snow Globe in the centre.





I stamped a Christmas sentiment and layered on to the back and built my carriage up and added finishing touches from craft stash.





Other products used were - ribbons, pearls, acetate, bazzill paper, stemplegede christmas stamp, potting soil archival ink and scorpal tape.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and received some lovely new Craft Goodies. Julie x

    Such a magical creation and so delicate with that beautiful stamped girl taking centre stage.
    What a beautiful source of inspiration to create this romantic carriage.

      Oh Jennifer, Thanks for pointing this out. My husband has only started my blog about 4 weeks ago and still learning and forgetting things. He has now sorted the problem and hopefully I can qualify for entry now.
      Thanks for the kind comments, Julie x

    Hi Julie,

    Yes, you definitely qualify now. Your carriage is so beautiful, it would have been such a shame not to be eligible for a prize.

    As for your blog only being 4 weeks old, you have done very well...it is such a different world in blogland, but it is also lots of fun. When I started out in April 2012, would you believe I did not even know how to get my piccies from my camera into my computer!!!! Come on....hop up off the floor....I bet you, and lots of others are rolling around laughing. lol. I too have a fabulous husband, who helped me out so much.

    Good luck,
    Hugs,
    Jennifer. x
