Twiddleybitz Hippity Hop #2

Shouting out a big Twiddley HELLO to you.

  Welcome to the Twiddleybitz Rakamania Blog Hop

You have landed here after visiting the amazingly talented Mel Forbes.

On each blog you visit there is a secret word contained in the post (**Hint my word stands out and will be green**). Write these down as you go along.  And remember, if you lose your way during the hop, you can get back on track by visiting the Twiddleybitz NING site.  All the blog hop details can be found HERE.

 Now it is TIME for me to share some more Twiddley love with you all.

Today I have something 'old' and something new to share with you.

First up, something 'old' which is one of my favourite Twiddleybitz layouts

Layout - 'Little girls like butterflies need no excuse'


Twiddleybitz Products

Oriental Butterfly in leavesCode: BUT002
Butterfly 8 PackCode: BUT006

Leaf Flourishes



I especially love how Twiddleybitz chipboard elements mix and match harmoniously with many patterned paper collections.
The chipboard mix I have combined here are well suited for the Graphic 45 and Prima Flights Of Fancy  Butterflies I have used.





The chipboard has been inked in subtle colours to coordinate with the colours of the papers - I used white and soft blue.
Chipboard elements have been layered with hand cut patterned paper elements and some pretty blooms.


 Next, I have something 'New' created especially for this blog hop.

I love to play 'dress ups' especially with the Twiddleybitz Miss Charlotte dress form.

Introducing

'Winter Angel'


 Twiddleybitz Products

MDF013 - Miss Charlotte


The 'Miss Charlotte' Dress Form was first painted flat white and then assembled.

Then I had lots of fun playing dress ups.

I first created a tulle skirt and attached around the waist of the dress form.

A bodice was then created from Prima patterned papers - a small strip that was concertina folded was attached to the front and a smaller unfolded strip at the back of the dress form.

 Prima Fabric Leaves were then randomly attached around the waist and punched/ die cut cardstock elements were layered intermittently. 


A touch of whimsy with some pretty organza ribbon bows and wings.

  The wings were created by using a large butterfly die and acetate.  The butterfly was then cut in half and the wings were attached at the back.  Star Dust Stickles was applied along the die cut edges to add a little fairy dust magic.

A sprinkling of blooms and little halo finish the transformation. 


Each of the Twiddleybitz Design Team Members has a RAK waiting for you to when you visit our blogs during the hop.

So that's FIFTEEN RAKS!! - How Twiddley AWESOME is that!
