While I don’t have as much time as I used to for crafting, I try to support newer, active crafty YouTubers when I can. I remember how important the encouraging comments and crafty love of other folks\u00a0were to me when I first started crafting 3 years ago. Jeannie (YT: HappilyEllaAfter) is a sweet and talented\u00a0crafter. While she joined the YT crafting about the same time I did, she only became active in the last year, so I wanted to encourage her to keep crafting and sharing.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I made this altered index card for Jeannie\u00a0(to go along with the card and ATC that I also made for her and\u00a0shared together in the video linked below) using another Hatter from The Greeting Farm that I colored with the following Copic colors:\u00a0Skin: E000, 00, 21, 11, 04 with R 20 blush; Yellow\/gold part of outfit: Y32, Y35 and YR24; Burgundy part of outfit: R83, 85 and 89; Hair: RV00, 52, 55, and 66. I fussy cut her out, inked the edges and popped her up on double sided foam adhesive to add a little dimension.<\/p>\n

For the background, I decoupaged an index card with a red, orange and yellow stripey patterned paper from my scrap box. I used a gold foil paper\u00a0die\u00a0cut using the Winnie and Walter True Multifaceted Heart Cutaway Die<\/a> and backed it with a totally sparkly pink glitter paper that matched the color I colored the Hatter girl’s\u00a0hair.<\/p>\n

Then to add more sparkle, I glued on some\u00a0wood veneer flowers that I coated twice with Champagne Gold Stickles. One coat left some of the wood showing\u00a0when dry, and\u00a0adding\u00a0the second coating really made the flowers look like thick glittery metal embellishments.<\/p>\n

Lastly, to\u00a0add a little something extra, I altered a stick pin (which Jeannie collects). I used (from top to bottom) a burgundy\u00a0flower bead that tucked nicely around the pearl pin head, a Jessie James black and gold metal bead, a silver wings bead, a faceted pink bead, and a small silver stopper bead. Although I agonized over the combination and order needlessly, I think the end result, with the various shapes and sizes, combined together quite nicely.<\/p>\n
