I love it when the weekly challenges match up with what I'm already working on! In this case, Tammy made the challenge relatively open ended with a nice long list of possible themes and her only caveat was that it had to be aged or vintage-y......so I decided that my vintage "center piece" for my Queen of Hearts chapeau was just the ticket!
I used an image of an antique Queen of hearts playing card and mounted it on a doily. Trimmed with a bit of red textile and mounted THAT on a piece of cardboard that I'd painted red and covered with micro glass beads.
My hat, cape and necklace
Peri was fascinated with my hat...
In hindsight, I wish I'd NOT used the white face make up it made my cheeks look weird in the pictures- but I'd wanted the heart on the lips to show up......and truthfully, I'm not wild about me with Heart lips as it is......ah well- maybe next time,I'll leave well enough alone!
but there you go- my entry for this week's challenge at Inspiration Avenue AND my costume reveal as promised! Pop over to
Inspiration Avenue to see what everyone else whipped up for the challenge! I'm sure the entries will be beautifully varied as always!
Happy Halloween for those of you who celebrate it~

What a wonderful hat your Majesty. Would you like a nice strawberry tart to go with it?
Personally, I love the heart lips!
You just aren't used to seeing yourself in make-up...at least that's the way I am. If I ever put make-up on for a special occaision...I always think I look like I am 4 and into my mom's stash.
I guess all natural beauties are like that ;~)
The costume is amazing!

I'm SOOOOOOOOO sorry I've been gone from your blog for so long. I feel like a stranger in a strange land as I try to catch up before I can no longer sit. This is one awesome costume and entry in the challenge. I don't think the mask makes your cheeks look funny, but you know yourself better than anyone! Those heart lips are PERFECT, honest!!
