Very Pink, very royal…news and giveaway!
Happy Pink Saturday everyone!
Today I am ready to “let the cat out of the bag” and let everyone know that…my “Paper Head Dresses” book is out! This is a great book for all those who want to design their own paper crowns and tiaras right from scratch. Learn how to make your own templates and decorate your pieces using a variety of embellishments…and make some of your own with step-by-step tutorials accompanied by beautiful photography.
Designing crowns and tiaras require a sense of fashion, colour combination, balance and originality. I love to use fabulous embellishments on my designs like: sequins, metallic cords, vintage trims, laces, velvet leaves, silk flowers, millinery flowers, glass glitter, beautiful decorative papers and luxurious ribbons.
I have received so many requests by you about my signature crown and tiaras templates…and…I have great news for you! I have included some of them in my book for you to use again and again.
And best of all, my “Paper Head Dresses” book comes with a basic kit of decorative papers and embellishments from my collection to get you started on your crown/tiara making!
To celebrate my “Paper Head Dresses” book launch I am having a giveaway! One of you can win a signed copy! All you need to do is leave a comment on this post and the winner will be announced on Monday.
And for those who didn’t win…well…great news! You can get a copy of my signed “Paper Head Dresses” book on my shop right here…also on Monday.
Let’s head to our Pink Saturday host Beverly’s blog “How Sweet the Sound” for more PINKFULLNESS! Thank you so much for visiting me today and have a great weekend!
