Heyo! I had fun in the Graphic45 Vintage Inspiration event with everyone yesterday… here’s a little project made just for this special event to dress up to the given theme… a little head wear! I used black glitter cardstock to make the little hat and embellished with some embellishments like chipboard buttons, cardstock diecut from Graphic45, brads, nettings, ribbon and butterfly punch-outs from Martha Stewart punch. Hope this will inspire you to make one today!
